About Me

I help organisations and individuals to tell their stories.

For the last twenty years I have worked across a range of organisations. It’s given me a wealth of experience in adapting to different styles, understanding audience needs, and creating strategies and narratives that work. It’s also fed my fascination with people and the unique stories each one of us has to tell.

Originally from Oxford, I now live in Amsterdam with my partner and two small daughters. In my increasingly-limited spare time I love to climb mountains (not so easy in The Netherlands, though I did once make it to Everest Base Camp), discover new music (I’m a Spotify addict and secret piano player), read fiction and write poems (so yes, I really do love words!)

What else might you want to know? Although the bulk of my work is based in Amsterdam and London, I work with clients all over the world. I’m quick at getting to know each new organisation and their audience. I’m easy to work with, friendly, dependable, and a fast-working perfectionist.

And I’d love to hear from you!

Poems & Ponderings

I spend as much of my spare time as I can (and is possible with two kids) writing poetry and articles. I have been published by The Times, Prairie Fire, Acumen, Beyond Words and the Tangled Locks Journal - among others. I was recently shortlisted for the Creative Ink Poetry Prize and am currently studying for an MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes. I’m in the process of finalising my poetry website - more to come!
