Simone Cottom

Simone is not just an accomplished project manager with a rich and varied career —she’s also a passionate musical theatre enthusiast who has performed in shows herself. Her love for musicals runs deep, and she brings that same energy and dedication to the stage of life.

As someone who lost her sight due to illness and went on to earn a master’s degree and thrive in her career, Simone embodies resilience and creativity. She’s here to share her insights on making the arts more inclusive, and we’re so excited to have her voice on our panel.
