About

A highly motivated and proven communicator, with more than 20 years of experience in journalism, public relations and social media campaigns. Through my roles to date, I have acquired an ability to excite and engage an audience through content creation. With a track record of making major editorial decisions, while gaining maximum PR impact, my highly organised approach has enabled me to work to tight deadlines in a variety of work-place environments. My strengths lie in the following areas: * Communication: extensive experience with strategic decisions, social media campaigns and networking. Skilled in reporting, copywriting, digital content creation and editing * Problem solving: proven track record of providing creative solutions often in last-minute or unexpected situations, while being innovative and digitally smart * Interpersonal: ability to deal with people at all levels, gleaned from interviewing celebrities, MPs, public figures and victims of crime. Organising and hosting PR and marketing events and attending regular networking meetings. With a calm, diplomatic and friendly nature, I am at ease in large groups but equally confident working alone * Management: Sole responsibility for the PR for a nine-office law firm; deputy editor of a quality, glossy, lifestyle magazine; editorial leader of a team, NCE trainer mentoring reporters through to their senior exams
