About me
I thrive when working with forward thinking organisations who use their power to make positive change and engage audiences through smart communications. Managing teams from strategy right through to production, I have 6 years of experience in advertising, design, events, talent management, brand sponsorship and collaborations. Driving work forward from Account Exec level onwards, my work has been instrumental in driving profitability for the businesses and brands I’ve helped transform. Outside of work I volunteer for North London Cares as well as the AdCan awards, an organisation partnering charities with film-makers to produce awareness-driving campaigns.
