About me
I began my freelance career in 2017 after spending 10 years, mainly in the charity sector, driven by a desire to make a difference to people’s lives and communities.
Becoming freelance is the best decision I’ve made in my career. I use my vast experience and networks to pursue projects and causes that I love and believe in. It’s allowed me to foster relationships with organisations I care about and help them to think about things differently in creative and exciting ways.
Just like my younger self I’m curious about people and the world around me, I like to ask questions and really get to the heart of things.
A lot of what I do involves community engagement and I love talking to people and sharing stories.
I’ve always enjoyed working with people from all walks of life.
I say what I mean, I’m not a yes person and am comfortable challenging ideas if I believe there
is a better way of doing things or a different perspective to consider. My motivation is to get the best out of people, and yes, I am an only child and a Virgo.
Whenever possible, I love to travel, read, cycle around the city, dress up in sequins, dance in my pants around the house and spend time with my cat and husband.
