Summary

Current British Airways Inflight Lead looking to dive back into her multimedia routes. After nearly eight years of gaining life experience from travelling the world, I feel in a position to have my feet firmly on the ground (or at least they will be when I'm not out marathon training!) My degree in Multimedia Journalism, linked with impressive track record in collaborative teamwork means I'm no stranger to high-pressure environments. I am looking to drive for success with my excellent written and verbal communication skills, resulting in creating engaging content to meet platform and audience requirements.
