About

I’m a marketing professional with several years of experience creating content, managing social media channels, and delivering campaigns that drive real engagement. Currently working as a Marketing & Communications Manager, I’ve helped brands grow their online presence through strategic content, audience engagement, and creative storytelling.

I’ve managed social media for a major transport company, delivering campaigns that reached large audiences and generated significant engagement, including a Taylor Swift Edinburgh campaign that achieved over 1 million impressions.

Whether you need UGC-style content, social media management, content planning, copywriting, or campaign support, I bring a blend of creativity, strategy, and proven marketing expertise to every project.
