I love working on communications that engage colleagues and impact the things that matter most: colleagues’ belief in your strategy, and their advocacy for you as an employer. Ultimately it’s about making people happier at work.

Whether it’s devising a comms strategy, project managing the delivery of a campaign, editing videos, writing copy from scratch or organising events, I can help.

I’ve worked with the likes of Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Jaguar Land Rover and National Grid on internal communications, talent attraction and employee engagement projects.

Through the University of Exeter’s Career Mentor Scheme, I mentor students who are interested in working in the areas I have most experience in: marketing project management, copywriting, editing and proofreading.

We discuss the pros and cons of freelancing vs employment or self-employment, sharpen their CVs and LinkedIn profiles, and share networking tips or job application strategies. My job is to help mentees feel confident in their capabilities.

In 2022, I was nominated by one mentee for the Debbie Hill Award for exceptional support of students for my mentoring services.

I spent six years sharing career tools and advice with ambitious early and mid-career professionals. Because life’s too short to be miserable at work.

In 2018 I launched the More From My Career (MFMC) website, which provided career shifters with market insights, useful resources, and expert guidance, empowering them to create a more fulfilling career. The site was home to a wide collection of career change books, podcasts, videos and communities.

Between 2020 and 2024, I wrote a fortnightly newsletter to share fresh ideas and coaching questions to further support young professionals’ career development.
