About me
I am an experienced digital marketer with a specialism for copywriting and creating content. In my current role, I manage the University of Surrey’s core social media channels, which have all seen healthy month-on-month growth during my time in the role. My main responsibility is to write engaging and useful content for a variety of audiences, from prospective students to research partners. These channels now reach over 2,000,000 people every month. I have also run various large-scale campaigns for the University, several of which ran concurrently, resulting in record metric figures. My training and experience in journalism have helped me develop exceptional communication skills and a strict eye for detail, proven when I was named the NCTJ (National Council for the Training of Journalists) Student of the Year for 2014-15. My subsequent roles in journalism relied on my ability to source and write the type of thumb-stopping content our audience wanted, whether that was exclusive interviews, an in-depth think piece or anything in between. This required brave and creative thinking, but also a lot of energy and enthusiasm to get my ideas for content off the ground. In my time at Boxing News magazine, we won several Sports Journalism Awards, including Best Special Edition.
