I graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications. After returning from travelling I applied to be a volunteer at PAD. I volunteered for over a year before gaining a paid position at the gallery. I have worked here since the beginning of 2010 and love the diversity of the role.
