Introduction	Since 1999 I have been initiating and Managing Arts and Cultural Heritage projects. I currently work for Ilfracombe Museum,setting up their new database. Previous posts include Learning Co-ordinator for the Bideford Black Project; Project Development Worker for Bideford 500 researching, promoting and celebrating the last 500 years of heritage of the town. Also as Projects Officer for Devon Artsculture I worked for Beaford Arts managing the North Devon half of the project. This involved running advice sessions, organising the seminars, initiating and co-ordinating visual arts exhibitions and overseeing the rural touring programme. A Winston Churchill travel Fellowship enabled me to begin researching the export of North Devon Pottery to the Eastern Seaboard of the US. As a result of the travel Fellowship, and as Chair of Bideford Bay Creatives, I have developed an artist exchange programme between creative people in Bideford, North Devon and our twin town of Manteo, North Carolina. I also spent one year living in Tucson, Arizona, where I gained experience of working for arts organisations there and regularly travel back.
Interests	I am passionate about the arts, culture, and natural environment of North Devon and enjoy sharing this with visitors to the area.
