Writing

With an eclectic mix of 22 years’ experience of working in IT, a Masters in Creative and Media Enterprises from Warwick University and the role of Board Director for a theatre school, I specialise in writing about the convergence of technology on the arts, media and creative industries. I also run training courses and facilitate workshops on time management, productive meetings and public speaking, with a focus on stress management.

In addition, I have produced written content and communications for a number of organisations, ranging from small arts organisations through to FTSE 250 corporates. I have a number of clients, primarily in the technology sector, for whom I write content for technical documents, product catalogues and marketing literature.

Business Writing and Speaking

As a professional Business Analyst, I am currently writing my debut novel entitled The Next Step: A Practical Guide to Your BA Career for the BCS (Chartered Institute for IT), which is due to be published this spring. I have also been published in various IT and Business Analysis publications, including the BCS’ ITNow magazine and BA Digest. I have also shared my knowledge, experience and research findings at numerous conferences and professional events, speaking on such subjects as Ethics in Systems Design, Cyber-Psychology, Storytelling, Networking and Confident Public Speaking. You can view the full list of my speaking engagements and publications here.

Acting

When I’m not writing, presenting or studying, I like to tread the boards and can often be found in the theatre rehearsing or on tour with my improvised comedy troupe.  We perform monthly at Temperance in Leamington Spa, have recently enjoyed the opportunity to play at Brighton Fringe and Leicester Comedy Festival and have been accepted at Edinburgh Fringe 2024. In addition to performing, I will also be Directing and MCing shows this year. You can view the full list of my acting credits and actor profile here.

Relaxing

I love travelling and in the last few years have managed to explore Ghent, York, Edinburgh, London, Barcelona, Valletta, Seville and New York, done some excellent hiking around Sierra Nevada, Yosemite and Red Rock Canyon in Nevada and undertaken an amazing road trip around California, Arizona and Nevada. I also enjoy reading, board games, dancing, yoga and long walks around the countryside.
