Available to hire
After a career break spent travelling through India, I’m back and feeling recharged, realigned, and ready to put my passion for storytelling into action. I love creating stories that inspire change, shift perspectives, and start important conversations—whether that’s through social impact campaigns, public engagement, or working with purpose-led brands.
With experience leading creative campaigns, managing stakeholders, and delivering seamless messaging, I’m excited to find a role where I can channel my energy and a little bit of PR perfectionism to make meaningful impact.
