About

I am a highly experienced communications executive and writer with a track record delivering strategic communications, stakeholder engagement and branding campaigns across energy, transport and sustainability. I have worked with companies, corporates, government agencies and industry associations in New Zealand and the UK, and I am a versatile freelancer and consultant.

I excel at translating complex policy and technical topics into accessible messaging, building long-term engagement, and delivering high-profile campaigns on tight deadlines. I am seeking a new challenge to apply my communications, content and leadership skills to a forward-thinking organisation.
