Summary

I am a motivated professional who has extensive experience in media and communications. From creating content at major events in the UK and overseas to strategically securing relevant coverage for clients to build brand awareness and improve SEO, I have been able to utilise my news sense and passion to deliver results.

I have built strong relationships with numerous teams across various contracts in a multitude of sectors. This includes organisational members, contributors for stories, partners, and internal teams. I consistently build and maintain positive relationships with stakeholders, ensuring a consistent and impactful public presence.

I have recently moved into a new role as a Senior Digital PR Executive, where I have taken on a more client-facing position.

This has allowed me to gain experience on the business side of the industry, rather than focusing solely on securing media coverage. The role has also given me the opportunity to play a leading role in how we manage this client moving forward. This includes suggesting and leading strategic initiatives to help improve results.
