In 2020, I resettled in the amazing city of Norwich. For the past decade, I have assumed the role of Editor, Head of Marketing & Communications. Writing, marketing and communications have formed the cornerstone of my diverse career, regardless of my position, industry, or the size of the organisation I represent. My in-the-field experience includes developing and implementing generic and digital marketing strategies targeting both business-to-business and business-to-customer audiences. Over this time, I engaged with and formed meaningful client relationships at all occupational levels across all sectors.

I am a goal-orientated team player with a client-centric approach. I have excellent written and spoken communication skills and am proficient in all Microsoft packages. I enjoy structure, a place where my organisational skills thrive. My speciality is taking complex issues and converting content into laymen's terms in both long and short forms. Not afraid of a hard day's work, I pride myself on meeting deadlines in line with any budget requirement.

Adaptable, I can adjust my writing style to the narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive, comparative, reflective and personal, including ghostwriting. As a keen researcher with an inquisitive mind, I adapt my writing styles and techniques, allowing publication on various digital platforms. I am a critical thinker with an eye for detail. Adept, I can multitask and prioritise to keep abreast of the moving parts of any mandate I undertake.

During my career, I have worked in-house and enjoyed the variety of working in an agency environment. I have had the opportunity to work with blue-chip and multinational corporate clients as well as the Government. Core to my role was confidently engaging with and presenting to clients at every occupational level that includes but is not limited to gaining and retaining business, client exco and board meetings, conferences, Webinars and events.
