About me
I am a Events & Admin assistant with two years of experience boosting, expanding, and transforming outreach, engagement, and brand knowability at Duckworth Books Publishing House and previously @ Uqdoon using existing social media skills.
I implemented data organisation of current UK Independent bookshops clients and unknown/ new bookshops into usable information.
Categories and review email and sales outreach practices focused on book genres and themes linked to each book shop in order to accelerate book shop outreach by 45% within six months.
My skills include developing knowledge of the book trade with a focus on bookshops with a genuine enjoyment of developing relationships with shops to benefit the brand.
ADHD and Dyslexia are vital parts of my personality that have built my character and are my secret weapons into why I'm amazing.
People usually don't take the time to get to know me when they see ADHD and Dyslexia in my bio, but I am also just a Londoner who loves animation and storytelling with no drawing skills to my name.
