My background spans media, storytelling and global perspectives.

I’m now also a speaker on using storytelling to create opportunities within creative and entrepreneurial careers, and have delivered lectures, workshops and talks at UCL, the University of Westminster and the UCL School of Management. Some of my favourite conversation starters/topics include: - Storytelling as a tool for visibility, growth and impact - The rise of long-form content and podcasts - AI and the future of digital storytelling - The female funding and visibility gap and how to bridge it digital storytelling I’m always open to collaborations, speaking opportunities and storytelling partnerships so please reach out via dm :)
