UK born and bred, I grew up in North London. I’m a freelance Marketing Consultant with more than 15 years’ experience gained in industry and consulting. The bulk of my experience has been working within the Financial Services Sector and more recently in the Health & Wellness and Shipping Industry. I’ve worked both client side B2B/B2C, working for UK and international markets. I help companies plan and execute their Marketing strategies, deliver on time, to agreed budgets.
I studied BA (Hons) Marketing with Law at De Montfort University and hold Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma with chartered status and an accredited Internet Marketing Diploma.
I am always learning and always developing. I’m a passionate, dedicated life-long learner participating in both professional and personal development programs.
I love to travel! I’m curious! I love exploring, discovering new places, meeting and talking to people from all walks of life. I love to cook and especially love to share a meal with friends and family. I spent a gap year working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean and a couple of years working in Spain, Teaching English as A Foreign language. I have a curious sense of adventure and more recently experienced sky diving and summited Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
