About

I’m a detail-orientated and strategic media and communications professional with a passion for audience engagement and connection through traditional and digital media. My social work and equity background gave me a solid foundation for a career in the fast-paced media world, while my experience in sport has exposed me to a high-pressure and intensely public working environment. My utmost priority is to wholeheartedly protect, promote and prepare the business I’m working for, whether it’s a small, unknown start-up or an internationally recognised brand.
