I have 10 years experience as a communications consultant. I learnt on the job and quickly developed a reputation as a reliable and versatile freelancer with a no-nonsense approach to PR. I've developed a broad understanding of press and media targeting and a practical knowledge of campaign strategy and implementation. I enjoy writing - press releases, newsletters, brochures, standard letters, direct mail and flyers and have a reputation for pithy, precise copy, an attention to detail and the ability to work to a tight deadline. Other work experience includes freelance journalism for national and regional publications, conference organizing and life coaching. All this has given me a varied career and a strong skill base. I've worked with people from a broad spectrum of organizations from large manufacturers and retailers to small businesses, artists, museums and galleries.
