I have been with NORDIK Institute since 2004 conducting research on Community Resilience and in 2006 began focusing on the socioeconomic impact and role of the arts.
Throughout my life I have worked in the cultural and education sectors and operated my own goldsmithing business. I also worked as a Senior Administrative Officer for a small Inuit community.
I hold a BFA and BEd. and I am a PhD candidate in Community Development with the University of the West of England (Bristol).
