Currently working with Geological Surveys across Europe, as Senior Communications Advisor for EuroGeoSurveys, and Communications Lead for a major EU-funded project to create a Geological Service for Europe. Working with a number of other clients on upcoming events and content creation for their own marketing.I have worked across subsurface industries including energy and mining, focused on marketing and PR around specifically exploration, data management and digital transformation.

I collaborate with the EAGE on their Annual Event, organising and running the Digital Transformation Area, and support SPDM with their marketing and events management. I am also working with PPDM on setting up the DANR hub, a collaborative space for NDR’s to share skills and experience.Outside of work I have four grown-up children, enjoy walking and travelling and recently explored the Svartisen glacier in Norway. When not walking, working or doing something crafty, I can be found curled up with a book and a glass of Malbec!
