Get to Know Me
Many small business owners struggle with digital marketing, self-promotion, content creation, and social media marketing. That’s where I come in. I am dedicated to helping them as a fellow business owner myself.
Throughout my portfolio career of 20 years, I had the opportunity to experience journalism, content writing and curation, communications, and marketing. As a proud generalist, I can offer you a unique perspective and create personalised solutions for your marketing challenges.
My Values
- Honesty: I am always clear and honest with my clients from the get go about every aspect of my work: my approach, the project scope, the impact I make, the value I bring, pricing, terms and conditions. I deliver on what I promise.
- Creativity: I am full of bright ideas, open to try new things, and can often find a creative solution to your problems. My clients always praise me for my new ideas and fresh perspective.
- Kindness: I believe kindness can save the world. I am kind, compassionate, understanding, and listen to my clients carefully.
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: As a woman of a different ethnic background, I respect everyone without discrimination and treat them equally.

Before starting my business…
I was a Content Curator for YouTube Music for 4 years, based in London. In this role, I established and implemented a content strategy by identifying gaps and prioritising audiences. I increased visibility and streaming performance of artists and boosted fan engagement. I boosted audience demand and consumption considerably while growing my market to become the Top 5 market in the EMEA region. Eventually, I won an award in this role for my “remarkable work, ideas, and data-driven approach”.
I spent almost a decade as a Communications Officer in London before that. I maintained excellent relationships with journalists in this role, handled their enquiries, arranged interviews, and coordinated press events.
I successfully completed a Digital Marketing Skills bootcamp in 2024. I have an MA degree from the University of Warwick and a BA degree in Media and Communications. I have been based in the UK for the last 19 years.
