PR expert for small businesses
I’ve always loved writing and the media.
From the moment I saw my first headline in the university paper, I was hooked.
I now use these skills to help business owners boost their profiles by getting featured the press.

Why work with me?
I’ve been a journalist for more than 25 years, so I understand how the media works.
After gaining the NCTJ Diploma in Newspaper Journalism at Cardiff University, I cut my teeth as a reporter at The Argus newspaper in Brighton.
I worked in national newsrooms in London, including The Daily Express, Sunday Express and Daily Star.
I’ve also written for The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and MailOnline.
This means I’ve covered everything from people getting mugged by seagulls for their sandwiches and celebrity interviews to crown court trials and breaking international news.
I now work with small businesses to help them get their stories in the press.
