What I'm looking for

I’m seeking project or digital communications roles in mission-driven organisations where I can lead stakeholder-engaged, sustainability-focused programmes and scale impact through strong strategy, content, and delivery processes.

I am a project and digital communications manager focused on delivering sustainable, stakeholder-driven solutions across the charity and not-for-profit sectors. I combine project management, digital strategy, and content skills to lead complex initiatives from strategy through to delivery.

At Sustain UK I led the Local Food Growth Plan project, facilitating workshops and interviews with 100+ stakeholders to produce sector-facing recommendations and government advice. I also owned digital communications for the campaign, writing thought pieces, newsletters, and managing SEO-optimised website content.

Previously I ran end-to-end digital platform projects at Fat Beehive, delivering 15+ digital builds for large charities and facilitating 50+ client workshops using tools like Miro. I managed budgets up to £700k, kept projects on time and within budget, and maximised team efficiency with Agile workflows and tools including Jira, Slack and Trello.

I have a Distinction Master’s in Sustainable Development and practical volunteering and international experience that inform my approach to inclusive stakeholder engagement, content creation, and sustainability strategy. I enjoy travel, content projects, and producing media such as an eBook and a mini-documentary.
