I'm a freelance copywriter and digital marketing consultant with over 10 years' experience. I'm passionate about making businesses and non-profit organisations the best they can be.
​
Born in Germany, raised in New Zealand, and with a recent10 year stint in Thailand thrown in for good measure, I currently call London home. I live with my partner, daughter and Thai street dog, who happens to be called Miss Puffington.
​
Throughout my career I've danced between huge global businesses, international charities, small start-ups and local community organisations.
I've always had a thing for words and people. It might be no surprise then that my studies were a perfect marriage of anthropology, international development and film, television and media studies. The result? A firm understanding of the relationship between behavioural science and creative copy.
I specialise in copywriting, content writing, social media management and strategic communications consulting. My clients have been based in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand and have primarily been in the travel, leisure, media, creative and charity sectors.
I've had the honour of working with some amazing businesses and organisations including Minor International (Anantara Hotels), Culture Trip, Gecko Digital, Inis Communications, Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurship Centre (IDE), Oxfam New Zealand and Volunteer Services Overseas (VSO). I am also the proud Director of The Branch Foundation (TBF) - a registered charity that I founded in 2007 that supports marginalised communities in South-East Asia.
