About me & my work: I'm the Director of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences - the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. It's a perfect job as it blends my interest in the hybrid themes of curiosity and creativity. My love for the arts started as a child dancing nude around the piano as my Aunt, a prominent musician belted out 'creative dance piano medleys'. Although now a major Museum Director, I still feel like a child dancing nude when I'm inspired by art, science and creativity. Prior to joining the Powerhouse Museum, I was the Executive Director Arts Development for the Australia Council for the Arts where I was responsible for building national and international markets for Australia's arts. Before that, as Manager Marketing and Commercial operations at Museum Victoria I was responsible for brand development, audience and commercial growth across Museum Victoria’s five venues: Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks, the Immigration Museum, Royal Exhibition Building and IMAX theatre.
