I am a passionate and dedicated communications professional with over 12 years’ experience in PR, marketing, events, social media and content creation, mainly in the children's publishing industry.

​

I worked in-house for 8 years at Usborne Publishing, the UK's most successful independent children's publisher, where I led integrated trade, consumer and digital press campaigns across the pre-school brands including That's Not My... as well as stand-out campaigns for authors including Holly Bourne, Lara Williamson, Peter Bunzl, and Ann M Martin. I managed all promotional events and festivals, and led activity and partnerships with organisations such as The Reading Agency, Amnesty International UK, Rethink Mental Health and The BBC Young Writers' Award.

​

In 2017, I moved to Sydney Australia where I lived for nearly 2 years. During this time I worked for Hachette Australia as their Children's and YA Marketing and PR Manager, honing my marketing experience across big brands including Enid Blyton, Asterix and How to Train Your Dragon. I also led local strategy and big media and marketing campaigns for Jessica Townsend, Shaun Tan, Juno Dawson, Leigh Bardugo, Matthew Syed and Cressida Cowell.

​

Most recently I've worked on freelance projects with Usborne Publishing, Guppy Books, Walker Books, Bonnier, and Discover Children's Story Centre.

​

I am passionate about ideas, media, the arts and entertainment.
