Biography
I am a qualified journalist and began my career in regional news in 2007. I made the move to PR and communications in 2011, working in-house for national charities (media liaison and reputation management, including radio and TV work), and in 2015, I joined the higher education sector in a central press office role.
I am an experienced writer (17+ years) with the ability to find, shape, develop and sell-in stories of all kinds, and latterly, I have progressed to the role of video producer (scripting, filming and editing) for the Department of Engineering.
I have a First Class BA (Hons) degree in English and Film Studies.
