I am a senior communications consultant with over 15 years across agency and in-house communications, shaping narrative, building profile and managing reputation for brands, developments and founders. My work spans property, luxury lifestyle, travel and wellbeing, and I am known for clear strategic thinking and delivering results that are commercially meaningful and culturally relevant. As a qualified and registered nutritionist, I bring genuine subject-matter expertise to the wellbeing sector—informing not just communications strategy but the depth of relationships with leading practitioners, experts and media. My background in radio and television gives me a natural instinct for broadcast-worthy storytelling and coaching clients through media appearances. I’m London-based and available to work embedded within agency teams or directly with brand clients on a retainer or project basis.
