A bit more about me and how to get in touch.
I'm a content strategist and audience engagement specialist with deep roots in the cultural sector. Over 15+ years I've led digital communications for national museums, heritage platforms, literary festivals, and grassroots initiatives — in Edinburgh, Berlin, and beyond.

Whether it's shaping a national campaign, building a social media strategy from scratch, or founding an international community initiative, I bring curiosity, creativity, and a data-informed approach to everything I do.
