About Me
I have been working in digital marketing and communications roles for more than 12 years, both for myself and a range of employers including Not for Profit, Incorporated Associations, and private businesses.
I am a queen of multi tasking - as happy in front of a room of people as I am behind a screen on a Zoom training call. I'm hands on, happy to jump in with both feet or to sit back and allow you to work out your direction with words of wisdom and guidance from the sidelines.
I have a very strong “tool box” when it comes to organising events – having being involved in events from a sit down dinner for 8 within a busy Farmers’ market to the annual Mansfield Lantern Festival that attracts over 1700 people.
