 Arts Management. Cultural Policy. Philanthropy

Welcome to My Personal Website

"I believe in the transformative influence of artistic expressions and the profound impact of social engagement on creating a more humane, sustainable, and peaceful world.

For over two decades, I have passionately dedicated myself to this cause as a researcher, consultant, project manager, and university lecturer specializing in arts management, cultural policy, and philanthropy. Join me on this journey of exploration, discovery, and advocacy as we unlock the potential of the arts to drive positive change in our society."
