Description

Journalist, Communications Specialist & Agency Owner with 20+ years’ experience. Featured in HuffPost, BBC Radio 4, and UK media. I work across communications, marketing strategy, and brand development - helping organisations build clear narratives, engage audiences, and grow visibility across digital and real-world channels.

Alongside traditional marketing and communications work, I design and lead community-led activation networks that connect brands and services with real-world groups for experiential engagement, cultural insight, and market testing.

My focus is on building meaningful connections between great brands and their audiences - combining strategic marketing, storytelling, and lived community experience.
