I am the Managing Director for ANO Institute of Arts and Knowledge and a Ph.D. candidate in Fine Art Curatorial Practice with the University of Pretoria. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Curating Contemporary Design from Kingston University London and previously functioned as Mentor for the African Female Artists Mentoring Program (AFAMP) offered through the Girl Child Art Foundation from November 2022 to March 2023.

Prior I completed fellowship at The MET in August 2022 as an Interdisciplinary Chester Dale Fellow onsite at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from September 2021. I participated in the International Visitor Leader Program (IVLP) to the U.S. Department of State during September and October 2021. Before I took up the fellowship at the The MET, I was the Acting Chief Curator & Collections Curator for the National Art Gallery of Namibia (NAGN) where I worked as a curator for over a decade.

During 2020 and 2021 I wa engaged by Yale Art Gallery in New York, the Museum of African Art in Belgrade, Serbia and the National Gallery Zimbabwe on decolonial curatorial practices and navigating the Covid-19 Global pandemic. I served as an Executive Board Member for the Museums Association of Namibia (MAN) and on the Namibia Heritage Council (NHC) Committee for the annual heritage week preparations and celebrations. In 2017, I was elected as an International Council of Museums (ICOM) Fellow and in 2016 International Committee for Museums of Ethnography (ICME) Fellow.
