About me
I’m a lover of content, with a career spanning all things food, booze and travel across the UK and New Zealand. I’ve purposefully chosen to work and grow roles with smaller brands who like to make a big impact by working hard, being creative and believing in the people they hire. Hospitality is my backbone and if a company as a bare minimum is also starting the discussion on more sustainable methods then I’m even more on board. I’m definitely a people person, always aiming to please and looking to learn – no challenge is too big!
