General Manager

Hi there! I’m Emily Benita (she/her). I have over a decade of cultural experience, working not only in administrative and operational roles, but also in creative development. I’m devoted to improving access and inclusion for both artists and audiences throughout the arts and cultural sector.

Previous professional roles of mine include Film Coordinator for Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF), Storyliner Trainee for BBC Scotland, and Production Assistant for Warp Films. On a grassroots level, I have produced and presented podcasts, short films, sketches, and comedy nights.

My areas of expertise are micro accounting, script and story development, and stakeholder engagement. I also enjoy applying User Experience (UX) and Service Design principles to upgrade administrative processes.

My lived experience of mental health issues and recovery, as well as managing the highs and lows of being an arts freelancer, inform my work with others.
