Background

I am Head of Culture & Community for the Edinburgh Futures Institute (www.efi.ed.ac.uk) and Head of Stakeholder Relations in the College (https://www.ed.ac.uk/arts-humanities-soc-sci). 

At Edinburgh Futures Institute, I lead the Culture & Community team which focuses on public and community engagement.  As part of this role, I manage relationships with stakeholders to deliver the strategic objectives of the College and the University. I provide support and advice to the Head of College and other University senior management on key stakeholders, particularly in the creative and culture sector, local community organisations and policymakers. I am responsible for managing our strategic partnerships with major festivals and cultural organisations and support engagement projects across the College, typically those involving several Schools and external partners.
