Working as Account Director with this boutique agency for just over a year, I was able to develop my creative skills handling luxury brands and working with key international events and companies.

Streamline Marketing was my introduction to exhibition PR and the frenetic pace within that industry. I was able to use my journalistic background to the fore creating sometimes 4/5 press releases a day, each adapted for each publication and style.;

During these few months I worked as a freelance journalist for a number of publications such as: What*s On; Emirates Woman (as the Motoring Columnist); Living in the Gulf; Gulf Business; Stars Magazine, etc

Marketing Communications Services is a fantastic PR agency, then run by an ex BBC journalist who took pride in the fact all her staff were ex-journalists. The agency had exceptional kudos as the only agency to provide journalists with interesting (and useable) press releases and we set a new standard in the PR market for professionalism and *thinking outside of the box*.

The Gulf Today was launched amidst much fanfare in 1996 with an experienced team of international journalists, brought to the region to establish new standards in journalism. As a very young business editor, I managed a team of 4 reporters and 6 sub editors and spent many a long hour putting pages to bed and enjoying the trials and tribulations of bringing out a daily newspaper.

Straight from journalism college, I started as a junior reporter and by the time I moved to the UAE I was senior reporter helping out on the Canterbury and responsible for Folkestone and Dover.
