About

Hi, I’m Emily Daly, an innovative and proactive creative currently pursuing an MA in Art Gallery and Museum Studies at the University of Manchester. I’ve also completed a BA in Fine Art at Manchester Metropolitan University and a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Central Saint Martins, which helped me discover new ways of working, collaborating with peers, and developing team‑oriented and communication skills.

I’m eager to embrace constant challenges and keep learning. My experience spans gallery hosting, festival work, hospitality, and student‑led marketing projects, all of which have sharpened my ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure, engage with visitors, and craft compelling visuals and content. I’m currently working at Finlay’s as a waitress and bar server, while also helping with gallery events, and I’ve collaborated on social media and degree‑show tours as part of the Manchester Met community.
