Bio
A communications professional with experience working for some of the UK's top agencies and on some of the world's biggest brands.

A strong track record across diverse sectors including digital, tech, government, charity, nutrition, media, youth and fmcg. I am adaptable, being equally at home working for TIME Magazine as for FHM.

I specialise in coming up with attention-grabbing ideas and persuading journalists to write about them. I also love exploring how digital media can be combined with the traditional to excite audiences in new and unusual ways.
