I'm a content creator and communications-focused professional with experience developing and managing social media content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, alongside over six years in a structured scientific and technical environment at Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Through my independent content creation work, I plan and produce digital content, collaborate with brands, and analyse performance insights to improve engagement and audience reach. This includes developing content ideas, managing posting schedules, and adapting messaging for different audiences across platforms. In addition, my experience in a fast-paced R&D environment has strengthened my ability to communicate complex information clearly, manage multiple priorities, and produce structured, high-quality outputs such as reports, presentations, and training materials. I also supported product-related benchmarking work and cross-functional communication, contributing to data-driven decision-making and commercial insight generation. I am now looking to apply these skills within a digital marketing environment, supporting content strategy, social media activity, and website-focused improvements that help businesses engage their audiences more effectively.
