I worked in close collaboration with the HR, Communications and Curatorial teams to implement new institutional practices towards anti-racism. I participated in the weekly Comms team meeting, feeding into the strategic thinking and supporting their vision and actions. I led public workshops and brainstorm sessions for Staff. In June 2023, I convened a one-day symposium focusing on visitor research and artistic practice. Funded by Techne.

Victoria and Albert Museum | V&A Museum of Childhood
Collections Documentation Officer
I catalogued and digitised over 5,000 collection objects in the museum database, managing a large amount of information to tight deadlines. I analysed data and used collaborative problem-solving with the rest of the team to identify incongruencies in the process. I wrote two blog posts for the V&A website. One of the posts championed the Staff's expertise and effort during the project, and reached over 1,200 reads by the time I finished my employment.

Victoria and Albert Museum | V&A Museum of Childhood
Marketing Officer
I played an active role in redefining the museum's public identity to 'Young V&A' - a complete transformation to target the museum to young people and family audiences. I created digital content for social media and enewsletters, commisioned print design and coordinated the production of all onsite marketing materials (posters, flyers and wayfinding). I implemented a system of collecting visitor surveys through iPads at the main desk.
