About me

My career in communications started with a life-changing internship with Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. Working from a cramped office in Iowa, I watched him rise from a relatively unknown politician to a global sensation.

After several years working in-house for a university, I began freelancing in 2012. Since then I have managed the communications for a diverse range of projects – helping to persuade, explain, instruct and inform.

I’m an organiser at heart. The most important revelation of my career has been realising what an asset this is to my clients. I now increasingly emphasise my role as a project manager as much as a communications manager.

My biggest assignment to date came at the beginning of the pandemic when I was asked to manage the communications for a significant COVID-19 testing pilot. Despite the challenge of working from home with a newborn in lockdown, it was exciting to be part of something so important, collaborating with a talented and dynamic team.

I work from my office in Chichester, though I can regularly be found in the Festival Theatre foyer cafe when I need to escape for fresh air and coffee.

Away from my desk

Having travelled extensively in the decade prior to the pandemic, I am now enjoying introducing my young family to Europe, exploring by train as much as possible. I have an amateur interest in design and architecture. And I’ll go anywhere for a Springsteen concert.
