About me
Brand and tone of voice copywriter with five years’ experience. Capable and seasoned digital marketer. I also work as a part-time Comms Officer with the local authority.
Graduated in 2023 with First-class BA Honours with the OU. I chose the subjects I wanted to study, which were mainly marketing and business management.
Nearly 30 years’ experience as a skilled administrator, managing projects, people and budgets.
I set up a music review site in 2013 and then began writing for PowerPlay Rock and Metal Mag, as well as several online music and lifestyle publications.
Open to any and all opportunities that come my way. I firmly believe in the power of networking and making your own luck.
Interests are reading for pleasure and for self improvement, walking and hiking, camper-vanning, watching football and going to live gigs.
