What I'm looking for

I seek marketing and events roles in higher education or mission-driven organisations where I can combine strategy, digital campaigns and event delivery, lead stakeholder engagement, and drive measurable recruitment and engagement outcomes.

I am a versatile, results-driven Marketing and Events professional with over eight years' experience across higher education and the private sector.

For the past three years I have focused on higher education marketing, designing and delivering integrated campaigns, managing website CMS updates, and producing print and digital collateral that support recruitment and engagement objectives. I lead end-to-end event delivery, from concept and budgeting to execution and post-event evaluation, consistently delivering brand-aligned experiences.

I am technically proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, Sitecore, WordPress, CRM systems including Salesforce, Bullhorn and Collins, email tools like Mailchimp, and analytics using Power BI to inform continuous improvement. I use social channels such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter (X), Facebook, TikTok and YouTube to drive campaign reach and talent engagement.

Known for strong stakeholder engagement, procurement and team leadership, I turn insight into action to increase visibility, drive recruitment outcomes and improve event ROI, bringing commercial thinking and creative execution to every project.
