What I'm looking for

I seek a senior editorial or communications role where I can lead content strategy, grow audiences, mentor teams, and deliver measurable impact in health or related sectors.

I am a versatile senior editor and journalist with over 20 years' experience in the UK and the United States, delivering high-quality news, features, blogs and social media content across health, lifestyle, political and financial sectors.

I have led large teams of international freelancers, managed multi-site editorial programs, and overseen five-figure budgets while driving measurable audience growth and engagement.

My strengths include commissioning and editing clinical and consumer content, SEO and Google Analytics-driven optimisation, content strategy, PR and media placement, and producing briefings for senior stakeholders in professional services.

I consistently meet tight deadlines, develop brand and client-specific style guides, and collaborate cross-functionally to repurpose content and amplify reach — bringing strategic thinking and hands-on editorial expertise to every role.
