My Experience

about me

I am an experienced public affairs professional with a track record of success both in consultancy and in-house, now working freelance.  I bring strategic communications insight, business acumen and political understanding together to benefit you.

With over 8 years' experience in the world of politics, I combine this expertise with an understanding of what large and small organisations really need from public affairs and how it can contribute to overall strategy, reputation and business success.

Having worked in-house and in agency, I know what is good and bad about public affairs agencies and I have set out to provide only the best. You will only ever get honest advice and services that are of genuine value.
