Anna has a varied career background across private and public organisations, with experience in business management, finance, HR and marketing. Her previous role at the City of Edinburgh Council was in the Economic Development: Enterprise and Innovation team, working to enhance opportunities for the creative industries across Edinburgh.

As well as fine art, design and teaching qualifications, she has an MA in Arts, Festival & Cultural Management, with a special interest in creative hubs and the economic and social benefits of creative folk contributing to positive change in communities.

Anna has a love for old buildings and is passionate about heritage and the built environment being reused and re-loved by future generations, so joining the embryonic venue management team in August 2017 felt very apt. She uses her creative energy on funding applications, infographics, problem-solving and keeping a keen eye on future green, digital and tech innovation for this building. Of course, she isn’t above emptying a leaky bucket or two.
