About

Policy and communications professional with 9+ years of experience. I’ve worked on gender, road safety and migration policy, to alco-bev PR and publishing. I started my career with parliamentary research, working with MPs. Then moved to policy + advocacy + consultancy, and eventually found my sweet spot in communications - internal, external, digital, editorial & thought leadership. In 2021, I founded The Blahcksheep, an indie digital platform for emerging writers and artists who colour outside the lines.
