Summary

With an MBA in Marketing and Finance, writing is the least of my skills. I'm great at understanding target markets and audiences - what they care about and motivating them to take action. I'm great at crafting messaging strategies that connect and drive behaviour.

An extensive background in writing, editing, marketing and research. I've been instrumental in training new colleagues in every opportunity and been a recognized leader, often presenting both internally and externally.

I've worked and succeeded in a wide range of environments - form start-ups to world-leading brands. I've developed a full range of content, including white papers, case studies, event collateral, sales collateral, email campaigns and strategies to utilize content across email, web and events.
