PROFILE
I’m a media specialist with an interest
in communication. For over seven
years, I’ve been helping media
companies and non-profits find their
voice. I also do social media
management, copywriting, graphic
design and podcast management.
On the side, I host a weekly pub quiz
for Geeks Who Drink, with the
occasional private event thrown in. I
also volunteer with Radio Talking Book
