About
I'm a collection manager and cultural producer who merges expertise in project management with a passion for contemporary African art. With a strong commitment to supporting artists, curators, and cultural institutions, I bring a dynamic approach to managing and enriching collections. I’m always interested in partnering with organizations dedicated to advancing, sharing, and preserving the narratives of contemporary African art.
