About me
Originally from Liverpool, a Content Editor and MA graduate from King’s College, London looking for an exciting opportunity within a creative company. With experience in editorial, content and digital marketing, I’m a creative, meticulous writer always seeking a challenge. Approachable, enthusiastic and friendly, enjoys being part of a motivating and encouraging team whilst also thriving under the pressure of working from independent initiative.
Projects

  • LSMedia
    LSMediaI was the Features Editor for LSMedia/ The Sphinx and the editorial team decided to create a print version of the online newspaper. I had to commission writers and sub-edit my section to prepare it for print. The team as a whole had to then work on financing the newspaper, printing it and distributing it. It was a great success and the model is still in use some years on.
  • Topshop/ Topman Launch
    Topshop/ Topman LaunchAppear Here were set to launch a retail concept that involved adding pop-up shops to the Oxford Street branch of Topshop and Topman. As the editorial assistant, I had to research brands that had previously appeared as concessions in the stores and create case studies which would inspire new brands to do the same. I then interviewed the new brands that appeared in the store to follow their success stories.
