Juliet Firth
Development Manager
Juliet brings well-rounded experience in fundraising and administration, as well as a deep-rooted interest in the role and social impact of the arts. Her previous experience includes working for London-based music education charity Pimlico Musical Foundation, where her work across impact evaluation and fundraising enabled significant organisational growth and delivery of singing programmes to hundreds of children every year. As the Benedetti Foundation's Development Manager, Juliet continues to advocate for the transformative benefits of music education and its social impact.
Her interest in the cognitive benefits of music education began during her Music degree at Cambridge (BA), followed by a pathway into music psychology research at Goldsmiths on the Music, Mind and Brain masters (MSc). She is now a published researcher, with academic interests including participatory music interventions for perinatal wellbeing, and the psychological benefits of arts education for young people.
Overall, she is inspired by the varied ways in which the creative arts can improve quality of life and is dedicated to the Benedetti Foundation's mission of bringing joy, creativity, and connection to everyone through music education.
When not at work, she loves a good sing and can also be found trying out different new creative activities, including knitting and pottery painting.
