What I'm looking for

I seek senior content/communications roles where I can lead strategy, mentor teams, apply tech (AI/blockchain), and drive measurable engagement in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am a dynamic content strategy consultant and communications manager with over a decade of global experience delivering high-impact projects for top-tier clients. I combine traditional content, editorial and communications strengths with recent technical work in server management, AI and blockchain.

As a freelance consultant I have created content strategies, edited and localised material, and supported research and publishing for enterprises and academic institutions worldwide, securing contracts with organisations including Warner Brothers, Nintendo and Google. In-house roles have included leading editorial teams, managing multi-channel content, and improving SEO and engagement across corporate and healthcare domains.

I am practical and results-oriented, experienced in managing teams, delivering compliant medical and regulated-sector copy, and integrating technical tools to improve workflows—having co-developed an AI model (ByteRebel), managed servers, and executed a smart contract to explore blockchain applications.
