THIS WEBSITE IS AN ONLINE PORTFOLIO
OF MY CREATIVE COMMUNICATIONS WORK

After graduating from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) with a 2:1 Honours degree in English Literature and Journalism (Academic), I studied for my teaching diploma, specialising in English. I also have a qualification in Freelance Journalism, and I am currently studying for Level 4 qualifications in Social Media Marketing and Copywriting.

I am a communications consultant for an agency that specialises in investor relations communications for FTSE 250 and AIM-listed companies. My role involves research, business analysis, report writing, corporate storytelling (copywriting for the opening story), wireframing (creating blueprints – designing the layout and information architecture) for corporate annual reports; giving presentations to corporate clients; and advising clients on best practice for their investor relations communications.
