About me
On a professional level, I'm a global business development and sales professional with several years’ experience, primarily within the film industry. Roles have been varied in terms of tasks and have included marketing & PR, event organisation, copywriting, liaising with talent/talent management among other elements in addition to my key responsibilities.
Outside of the workplace, I am passionate about keeping active and challenging myself. In 2015 I completed a 21 day, 2100 mile cycle through south east Asia that raised over £5,000 for the mental health charity, Mind, and in 2018 I walked 113 miles from London to Birmingham in aid of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which raised c.£14,000. I also keep fit on a more casual basis, whilst also having an interest in photography, cooking, quizzing, writing and whatever else I can squeeze in while also raising a toddler!
Projects
- 11Eleven ProjectA user generated project that used the power of social media to bring together people on November 11, 2011, to create a time capsule of the world on that day using video, photography, music and sounds in order to create a multi-platform documentary. The end result was contributions from 179 countries, a feature length documentary and an original soundtrack.
