I am a seasoned professional with extensive experience in PR, marketing, communications, and project management across various sectors including technology, banking, and education.

My journey has been marked by my ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments, from working with multinational corporations to establishing a Dutch language school in Dublin.

I have a proven track record of creating compelling content and managing social media strategies that resonate with target audiences. My role as the founder of a language school showcases my entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to education, where I developed comprehensive business and marketing plans that led to successful accreditation from the Netherlands Government. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to help clients achieve their communication goals and drive engagement.
