I leverage my experience in international relations and cultural diplomacy to promote Mongolia on the global stage, advocating for soft power and cultural exchange at international events. As a Creative Industries Consultant, I work with embassies, arts councils, and government bodies to foster cultural exchange. I collaborate with media and cultural giants like the BBC, the Royal Opera House and Cardiff Singer of the World and curate exhibitions and cultural events at prestigious venues like Oxford & Cambridge Universities, Asia House and Mongolian State Opera and ballet and National Broadcasting. As International Arts & Cultural Relations Manager, I champion underrepresented Mongolian talent: world-class opera singers, rising designers, and innovative creatives. I facilitate connections between British, international, and Mongolian artists, fostering a vibrant cultural exchange. A testament to this mission was co-producing the critically acclaimed theatrical spectacular, "The Mongol Khan," in 2023 at London Coliseum. This project brought together Mongolian and UK creatives, solidifying the kind of international collaborations I strive to cultivate.
