Hobbies & interests

Outside of work, I have a passion for all forms of cultural storytelling: whether film, theatre, literature, art exhibitions or live music. I'm also a passionate traveller – never happier than when exploring a different country and culture on a road trip or city break – and I actively maintain a healthy lifestyle, often trying out sports such as snowboarding and fencing alongside my regular cycling and swimming.

Equally, I'll always try to find time to do activities that offer me a chance to gain new skills, experience or a 
fresh perspective: including driving ambulances to Ukraine in 2023, offering mentoring for colleagues outside 
of my team within the broader Haymarket business, and volunteering at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival.

Education & training

In addition to my on-the-job development during my various roles at Haymarket, I have also undertaken numerous training courses, including:

  • Video scriptwriting, storyboarding and production

  • Social media content creation

  • Feature writing and subbing

  • News writing and editing

  • Print layout and design

  • Google Analytics & SEO optimisation

  • Staff and team management

  • Maintaining client relationships

  • Media law, copyright and libel

I'm familiar with most commonly used creative and collaborative tools used across Google, Apple and Microsoft Office, as well as specialist creative tools such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Creative Suite. I'm well-versed in managing social platforms using Meta Business, and I've used numerous different CMS solutions for managing digital and social content.
