About me
Having established a successful communications career and working with a number of premium global brands including Bacardi Group, Moët Hennessy, Nike and Samsung, I am looking to further expand my creative thinking, knowledge and skills in the integrated communications space. I specialise in the PR realm that focuses on creative strategy, content, engaging collaborations and influencer orchestration that help brands connect with their audiences. I’m looking to work with innovative organisations and find challenging new opportunities that will inspire and help shape the future of integrated communications.
