Although I primarily work in print and broadcast, I have experience in TV and film research: scouting for locations, undertaking recce trips, sourcing props and materials, and sourcing participants if necessary. I'm a blogger, building my brand by capitalising on my viral success last year. I'm focusing on print and broadcast - I've got a literary agent and a broadcast agent. My specialist subjects are feminism, body image, mental health and dating. I’m adept at generating material by undertaking independent research through participant engagement, including vulnerable groups such as refugees and over 75s. In numerous roles I have demonstrated that I can gather, evaluate, and collate material and present it in an appropriate form, be that verbally, as a research document, or a creative script. I’m self-motivated, but pride myself on being a supportive, engaged and reliable team member, especially when it comes to sensitive subjects. As well as having an approachable and professional demeanour, I’m familiar with psychological first aid. I’m a big believer in learning by doing, which has served me well in roles as varied as project manager, creative solutions practitioner, and journalist. The subject of this film is very close to my heart, and while I’m working towards a career as on-screen talent, this role feels tailor made for my skill set and interests. Need a presenter, host or speaker? I can do that too! Here’s a video of me saying words. I’m also an experienced social media consultant. Having personally gained 37k followers in the last year, I have developed effective strategies to conceive, launch, run and monitor a successful social media campaign. My unique personal experience over the last year has helped me develop my considerable natural talent for creating dynamic, engaging content. The landscape of advertising is changing – Sadiq Khan's ban on bodyshaming ads on the most valuable advertising estate in the world demonstrates that agencies and their clients need a voice like mine. I'm committed to developing my voice and career as a writer, and I have the imagination, flexibility and motivation to be an absolute asset to any campaign. Interested?
