About

Hey! 👋

From childhood play to now working my dream career in professional football PR, media, and communications, my love for sports and football is stronger than ever.

Growing up, I juggled multiple sports—not just to stay active but to connect with others who share my passion.
This journey gifted me with my own unique 360-degree view of sports, as I blend the strategic insights of a business and communications professional with the fervour of being a lifelong player and fan.

But my story isn't just about career achievements. I'm deeply committed to driving positive change in sports, championing equality and respect, especially in women's football.

This mission is a personal vow I have for myself to leave a lasting impact on the game that I love.

Beyond work, I'm an avid traveller and learner. Delving into different cultures, topics and languages is my way of exploring the world and expanding my personal influences and knowledge base.

After all, life should be an adventure full of opportunities to discover something new as often as possible.

Let's connect and explore these possibilities together!

Feel free to reach out—I'd love to chat!
