Managing Leicester Gallery and Shop with my amazing colleagues in our Arts team is a total pleasure! Everyone is welcome at Leicester Gallery and I love building rapports with all of our unique and wonderful visitors. Nurturing and inspiring students to continue to dream big far beyond their studies as well as facilitating events and moments that really matter to our DMU and wider community are especially rewarding. I particularly enjoy developing and sourcing new stock lines for our shop; Curating a shop full of lovely gifts never feels like work!

I’m an art, style, nail art, hip hop, car, food enthusiast and often whatever has recently caught my eye (!) - I have a tendency to need to know everything about it immediately which makes Leicester Gallery at DMU the perfect place to continue researching in areas I love.
