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, and in 2015, I joined the higher education sector. I am an experienced writer with the ability to find, shape, develop and sell-in stories of all kinds, readily translating content to maximise coverage across on and off-line channels. In the past, I have also taken on the role of official PR spokeswoman for TV and radio. I have a First Class BA (Hons) degree in English and Film Studies.
