Experienced Communications, Employee Engagement, and ED&I Specialist with a demonstrated history of working in the Music, Media and Publishing industries. I have demonstrable experience in internal communications, increasing employee engagement, brand engagement and advocacy, improving talent attraction, creating brand partnerships, devising and leading ED&I initiatives, implementing social media strategy, and event curation, management, facilitaion and hosting (both online and in person).

I advocate for change that creates safe, inclusive spaces within the workplace so that everyone can bring their whole self to work.
