I am excited to be joining LAR as its full time CEO. I moved to Ludlow three and half years ago and have served on the board as a trustee for two years. As a board member and user of the building I am aware of the very real challenges facing arts organisations at the moment, but I passionately believe that the mission of LAR is crucial. Together with the talented team of staff and volunteers, I want to ensure that LAR provides arts of the highest quality, as well as being a building that is accessible and friendly, so that our community of Ludlow and beyond can come together to enjoy and benefit from the many services we offer.


I started my career working in an arts centre, before spending 10 years as a professional theatre director. I then worked in international development, and for the last five years have worked as the Executive Director of an international charity that enables women and girls to amplify their voices through the arts. I hope to bring all these skills to my new role here at LAR. However, I can’t do this alone – I invite all of you, audience members, volunteers, community groups and organisations to share with me what you want from LAR in the future. Together we can create a vibrant, creative and sustainable organisation that serves our town.
