Meet the Team 5

Cath Barry

I have worked here for 10 years and I am the person who deals with anything financial. I am also the font of all knowledge and constantly remind the team where they have stored things and tell them where the best restaurants and pubs are in Cardiff.

When I am not in the office you will find me watching a rugby game or sampling the best pubs and restaurants in Cardiff!

To prepare for this position I have spent time working in the legal system, as a public affairs manager for a large charity and in repertory theatre (but never on stage).I have driven a tank, flown in a microlight over Southern France and organised events.You never know what you are going to be asked to do next and I will try most things once. Carpe diem!

Hi, I'm Emily Snead and along with Alex I am Admin Support for NYAW and have been for the last 2 years. We are the lovely girls who normally pick up the phone first, so you will get to know us quite quickly.

I moved to Cardiff 14 years ago from Somerset to study Fine Art Painting at UWIC and I found the art scene in Wales to be really vibrant, so made myself a home here. I worked at BayArt Gallery for 5 years before moving to Welsh Independant Dance and Community Dance Wales before joining the NYAW team.

Looking forward to working with you all. Feel free to give me a ring if you want further information.
