What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role where I can lead content strategy and storytelling, work cross-functionally, and produce high-impact communications with opportunities for growth.

I am a communications specialist with over 14 years' experience delivering content strategy, editorial and storytelling across online, social and print channels. I combine a keen editorial sense with project management and vendor/stakeholder relationship skills to produce high-quality publications and campaigns.

I am an excellent writer and editor and am looking to broaden my writing portfolio. I’m particularly keen to write for video games or other entertainment mediums.
