What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a fully remote international role where I can apply my writing, communication, research, organisation and creative skills across content, editorial, writing, research, media, communications, education, publishing, customer-facing or coordination work. I'm open to full-time, part-time, freelance and contract opportunities.

At ITV and BBC, I worked as a Freelance Studio News & Light Entertainment Director and Producer in demanding broadcast environments. I researched programme and story material, worked with scripts and programme content, and collaborated with creative and production teams.

At Kindred Spirit magazine, I researched, developed, edited and proofread editorial content, interviewed contributors, and coordinated more than 40 practitioners and contributors for events and editorial projects. I also worked with Torbay Culture/Torbay Development Agency on Arts Council and HLF funded arts and cultural projects, including major public-facing events.

As an independent writer, author and content producer, I wrote and independently published Silent Abuse: A Spiritual Journey to Freedom and produce the podcast Grey Matters More. I research, write and edit content for different audiences and formats, taking projects from development through to delivery.
