After freelancing for the group as a PR and securing nationwide coverage, I was invited to join The Women's Health Clinic as Marketing Director to take their vision forward towards a rapid growth, both nationally and internationally.

The post of Digital Marketing Co-ordinator ensured branding, website content, social media and marketing were accurate for the IEMA group. The major project during my time at IEMA was launching IEMA Sustainability Training Solutions, a new company supported by IEMA and dedicated to working with employers and training providers, shaping skills for sustainability and training in the workplace.

I was employed by the £6.5m LSTF Access LN6 grant in a temporary communications role to engage the Lincoln public and specifically the LN6 area. The bid was based around awareness and accessibility in sustainable travel and I developed core interest by co-ordinating and delivering a programme of events during the summer period. As the key point of contact in social media I devised a plan to re-engage our membership and ensured all of our information was up-to date with relevant interactions. Press releases, video making and a stock evaluation were a main part of my role as well as working to manage a team of 10 PTP who were actively targeting households.Over the three months I developed significantly in social media and now have a real grasp of sustainability in transport.

Local radio reporter based in Rheindahlen, Germany until the camp closed in 2013.My segments on local life celebrated both military and civilian news and views from the area, these three minute weekly packages were heard both nationally in Germany and syndicated on the UK sister channels.

Before my redundancy I worked as a local reporter for Sixth Sense, a weekly newspaper serving the armed forces and their families based in Germany. Whilst in post I managed to amass 10 front pages based on the military and civilian life around me. From operational commitments to snake charmers and marathon runners I was offered a fantastic insight into our overseas communities.

Essentially I encouraged students to become more enterprising by forging a society called Deviate, based on entrepreneurship. I dealt with local and regional businesses, NGOs, incubation centres and national showcases to create flair and direction amongst members of Deviate.

I co-ordinated and hosted the first ever UK event held by the Forum for European Journalism Students. An organisation spanning 27 different countries and over a 1000+ members. I was responsible for planning 5 days worth of workshops on multi-platform media including speakers from the BBC World Service, Press Association, RTE and more and also finding accommodation and sponsorship for this voluntary event from the likes of Coca-Cola.

Founded the first Journalism Society at the University of Lincoln. Organised speakers, events and work placements for members from the university with local media contacts.

I updated listings for daily entertainment across the newspaper group and had a key responsibility for Edinburgh Festival reports.Most recently I freelanced at PA again in summer 2016 working for the Horse Racing department, concentrating mainly on US horse racing.

I was elected by my peers to run in office and represent my fellow student body in front of the National Union of Students and day-to-day activities on campus. As Communications Officer I was responsible for internal and external PR, a six-weekly student magazine, financial budgets, media centre and event management.During my time I secured funding and collated proposals for a media centre within the Students' Union which was approved. Secured advertising for the student magazine to make it semi-autonomous and created a now annual Media Awards to celebrate the efforts made on campus. I co-ordinated open days and facilitated 'Working Lunch' which took the sabbatical officers out of their office and to the students three times a week, an activity which is still in effect today. Within NUS I was keen to make sure that the University of Lincoln had a key voice and that we attended all of the regional and national meetings and always had a full delegation.

Represented the UK in media and journalism amongst colleagues from 27 countries at the European Parliament.
