I am an experienced marketing communications specialist with expertise in communications for financial services, charities and others. After graduating from University College London with a degree in Anthropology, I worked in the print and publishing industry and then financial services followed by six years as managing director of a small communications agency before joining a national charity and then taking a Masters Degree in marketing.

I previously taught at the Universities of Greenwich and Brighton and I am visiting faculty at Audencia Business School in Nantes, France.
