Work history

About me

If everyone who knew me had one word to describe me, the word they'd all use is "creative" - which pretty much sums me up. I'm a Head of Marketing and Communications, and Chartered Marketer, with 18 years’ experience in both senior marketing roles and running my own businesses. I've worked across a very wide range of industries during my career, most recently working within the social care sector - where I have truly found my place and my people. 

I have knowledge across all areas of marketing, but my real passion lies in brand, content and communications - findings ways to inspire and engage audiences through creative campaigns and compelling storytelling. I have transformed brands and created marketing functions from scratch, and love nothing more than getting to the real heart of why we do what we do so that can be communicated to the world.

Expertise include:

  • Marketing Strategy
  • Strategic Communications
  • Social Media Management
  • Content Development
  • Internal Communications
  • Copywriting
  • PR & Crisis Management
  • Brand Development
  • Website Design/UX
  • Graphic Design
  • Campaigns & Engagement
  • Events & Exhibitions

My approach to life and work is characterised by kindness and an infectious enthusiasm which has enabled me to lead teams and organisation with great success - because I truly care. 

What am I looking for

I am excited to utilise my skills, experiences and expertise in a Trustee/Director role for a charity in need of senior creative, marketing, brand expertise (Bonus points if this is a development area for the charity!)

I am looking to work with a social care charity, ideally supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, and/or complex needs. I work for a provider of residential and supported living services, however as I move into a very different sector in November, I’m keen to continue to be a part of making a real difference in the lives of others.
