Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Having transformed a derelict building to a 5 storey community space, I have learned a whole lot of skills in the process.

I have plenty experience in DIY all round - basic carpentry, plumbing, design

Project management - working with a team, working out a plan, implimentation, designing and working to deadlines

Volunteer management - 5 years of experience working with various teams of volunteers from diverse backgrounds.

Events management/promotion - I have organised countless events from cinema screenings to gigs to 3 day music and art festivals - handling all aspects of management from tickets, booking, promotion, tech etc. I have over 10 years experience running events.

Sound and lighting tech - I am completely self taught but have designed and installed multiple PA's, lighting and projection rigs in multiple venues. I have a wholistic understanding of all things AV and all things shiney shiney!

Marketing - 5 years experience in marketing including running facebook/insta campaigns, email campaigns, poster and flyer design and distribution and I have even had a few semi viral videos in my time as a musician and political activist

Health and Safety - I have written up plenty of risk assessments in my time, overseen the installation and design of fire alarm systems, fire extinguisher systems and general H&S for DIY projects as well as events involving the public. I have organised many insurance policies for different purposes too over the years and made sure all is in alignment.

Non-Profit/Charity set up and management - I have set up 3 different charities to date with intimate knowledge of the different business set up options in the UK. Obviously this will all be different in different countries but I am sure I have some transferable skills if your project is looking for some support in terms of legal business set up.

Book keeping - I have done bookkeeping for 3 different orgs for 5 years too working with accountants to do end of year returns, monthly reconcilliations and all general accounting for specific funded projects and overall organisations

Fundraising - I have successfully found funding for multiple projects in the UK with an overall total of over half a million. I have ran crowdfunders as well as applied for more traditional funding routes too.

Community Engagement - Plenty experience working embedded in a community working with local residents, groups, organisations and official government bodies. I can help with outreach, joined up practice and general comms with other partners

Musician and digital artist - I have been DJing and creating my own music for over 10 years now with this as my primary focus at present. Enjoying the creative lifestyle massively developing that part of my expression. Wherever I go I will be creating something at some point even if it is as simple as gathering samples or working on whole music tracks. My music has always overlapped with my digital artwork and my political activism too creating multi-facetted wholistic projects with an emphasis on exploring deep themes and healing through sound, dance and meditation.

Philosophy - I am a Philosophy Grad from University of Glasgow. You certainly don't do philosophy expecting a direct job at the end of it. But I think immersing myself in the world of reflection, being encouraged to look down the cracks of the reality we are presented with - that can give you some good life skills and an open mind for discovery. Thats why I love travelling, meeting new people and cultures and becoming part of diverse open minded communities. For 'Happiness is only real when shared'
