About

Marketing professional, with well over a decade of industry experience.

I began my career as a digital developer and designer. Working for two of the UK’s leading universities. These roles complimented the skills I had acquired during my degree. I specialised in Interactive Media, earning First Class Honours.

While working in Higher Education, I discovered my passion for digital marketing. This led to me transitioning into the telecoms sector. I worked for one of the UK’s largest telecom infrastructure builders. This role allowed me to combine my digital marketing skills with stakeholder management.

Working in Channel Marketing, I managed key partners and supported their marketing strategies. Operating in a dynamic sales environment, my work focused on new business growth.

I recently moved back into the education sector. Coming full circle. I currently work for an award-winning digital learning agency based in London.
