What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am a dynamic communications professional with a robust background in journalism and creative content strategy. My experience spans various industries, where I have honed my skills in crafting compelling narratives, managing stakeholder communications, and driving impactful multimedia campaigns. I thrive on creating content that resonates with audiences and delivers measurable results.

In my recent role as Stories Officer at Age UK, I successfully identified key beneficiaries and gathered their testimonials for use in PR, media, and marketing campaigns. My efforts contributed to generating millions in engagement and donations. Additionally, I led internal training on content collection and served as interim manager for the largest campaign of 2024, showcasing my leadership and collaborative skills.

Previously, as a Communications Assistant at Airbnb, I supported campaigns across Northern Europe, managing partnerships and liaising with journalists. My volunteer experiences further enriched my copywriting skills and passion for language, culminating in the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2021. I am eager to contribute to an innovative organization while continuing to develop my professional skills.
