Email: wotties3@xtra.co.nz Personal Statement My past work experience has allowed me to become a proficient and experienced administrator, planner and networker, working between various dynamic groups to achieve and deliver quality outcomes and connections across all areas of business. Strong written and oral communication skills and building personal and meaningful relationships are something I value.

A mid career change into the visual arts was a planned move to enable me to use my creative art skills. Having completed my third year towards a Whitecliffe BFA, my studies allow me to expand my interest in art history and critical writing, as well as creating and developing my own art practice. My longer term goal is to move into curatorship through gallery or museum work but my interests are not limited to those roles exclusively as the arts is a varied and dynamic area. I believe all these attributes together with past work experience make me a valued asset to any prospective employer.
