About Me

An adaptable Project Manager with a solutions-oriented approach and extensive experience in client service. I thrive in high-pressure environments whilst maintaining a calm and cool attitude. With a flair for quickly adapting to changing circumstances, I have the unique ability to reassure and motivate both clients and team members alike.

My journey spans over 6 years at a renowned agency with a 20-year history, where I've successfully managed projects ranging from campaigns to corporate website redesigns. Working with clients including financial services companies, spirits brands, architects and restaurants, I've cultivated a deep understanding of diverse industries.

My approach is shaped by a passion for turning vision into results, paired with a Bachelor's degree in Business Communication.
