I am an Assistant Brand Manager and freelance writer based in London. I currently write and assist in production for arts publication 1883 Magazine, both for their online platform and quarterly print publications. I also recently worked in the brand team at the leading national restaurant chain Byron.
I am a confident, approachable and adaptable individual with strong, transferrable communication skills. As a team player, I thrive under pressure whilst remaining organised and proficient.
I am currently seeking a role in the communications or marketing sector, but am open to positions that may be suitable. I am always looking for new publications to write for.
