Yes, you saw right - that is a picture of me with 80s legend Pat Sharp!

Just one of the joys of dedicating your time to making a difference - you get to meet a lot of interesting people who desire the same thing: to create positive change in society.

My 15-year career (and counting) in communications began at Oxfam, and I have chosen to work with organisations that have a strong social purpose throughout.

My CIPR dissertation focused on ethical PR, and I recently supported the development of the Bristol Innovators’ Group (BIG), which brings innovators together to have a positive impact on the city of Bristol.
