CRM, MarTech and Digital Marketing Copywriter and Former Award-Winning Journalist

About Me

Hi there,

I am a former award-winning journalist (National Press Club of America) and have been published in more than 20 global publications including The Wall Street Journal. My writing experience also spans B2C and B2B copywriting, video and radio scripts, marketing communications and thought leadership. This means I have the rare ability to produce editorial, promotional and persuasive content. 

In addition to my background as an online marketer, I am also a 3 x Salesforce-certified professional, Certified Scrum Master and certified Business Analyst, making me well-versed in subjects such as CRM, Agile Project Management, Marketing Automation, Digital Marketing, Marketing Technology, RevOps, Cloud Computing, Data Management, Sales Enablement and more. 

Other previous work and business experience includes founding and running a social enterprise supporting creative entrepreneurs; starting a Hip-Hop themed sandwich shop and producing reality shows. 

In terms of academic education, I hold a B.A. and M.A. in History from University of Oxford, M.A. in Magazine Journalism from Syracuse University and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Publishing from the University of the Arts, London.

I am a proud mum of two and in my spare time I dance, read, watch crap TV and find any excuse to eat out.
