I am endlessly curious about marketing, technology, business, wealth creation, ecology, life, the Universe and everything - assuming the ethics are on my radar!
Work Experience:
I have extensive experience public relations related work in a variety of settings. I have set up and facilitated collaborative projects to regenerate areas left in crisis following closures of local major industries, supported funding applications, co-ordinated and delivered public consultations, training and managed complex projects.
I am firmly committed to helping people wanting to make changes in their lives. I can help business owners' and individuals' efforts to persuade, influence and lead people when required.
Balancing potentially conflicting tensions between 'conservative' institutions versus 'progressive' communities has required extensive use of tact, dexterity and patience, combined with strong communication skills and constant professional development. Getting results against a backdrop of demands isn't always easy, but the tougher the challenge, the better the ultimate results! I believe that great communications change lives; seeing that happen for SME's for whom I write is a constant source of pleasure to me. Transforming results is my ultimate goal in any work I undertake.
Education Summary:
I am largely self-educated. E.g. psychology, economics, software applications, business. I completed a diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy which has under-pinned every professional post I have found myself in. I also studied Politics at Liverpool Polytechnic (now JMU). I completed numerous certificates in conservation related subjects, becoming a licenced 'bat handler' being one of my most rewarding activities, ever!
An avid learner all my life, I have continually educated myself in a variety of subjects. Nowadays, I have returned to my life-long drive to transform our collective environmental landscapes and I am actively learning more about links between finance, economics and ecology.
I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and enjoy opportunities to write on a vast array of subjects for my clients, particularly where they intersect with industry ethics. I love the challenges copy-writing brings me and learning about some of the great businesses out there is incredibly satisfying. If you have a great business and are passionate about what you do, I will work my magic to communicate just how fantastic you are to your ideal audience.
