Bio
I’m a creative communications consultant and trainer specialising in the charity sector. I help charities make a big impact with limited resources by strengthening their digital content and communications. My work covers everything from social media, websites and email marketing to turning engagement into meaningful action.
Alongside consultancy, I run training and coaching to build confidence and skills, so charity teams can connect with their audiences more effectively. I also founded Charity Meetup, a friendly networking and skills-sharing event where people working in the not-for-profit sector can learn from each other and share good practice.
I’m passionate about empowering charities to deliver communications that truly resonate, even on modest budgets and tight timescales. Over the years I’ve worked with a wide range of organisations, including Mind, Sense, and St John Ambulance, supporting them to achieve stronger results from their communications.

When I'm not working I enjoy...
Away from work, I’m happiest surrounded by art, nature, and music. I enjoy local events, swimming, yoga, and the simple joy of sharing cherries or singing along with my daughter.
