A scrappy Scottish photographer turned marketer.

Welcome to my profile! I have over five years of experience in marketing, communication, SEO copywriting, content creation, and strategic Social Media planning. 🚀 Whew! It took me some time to choose what to put on this list. Now, let's get to one of the best pieces of my story - my education. 👇 🎓 My academic journey at Roskilde University (Denmark) revolved around Cultural Encounters & Communication Studies, specializing in strategic communication and cultural theories, mainly focusing on postcolonial perspectives. Beyond my professional ambitions, I am deeply passionate about theatre, literature, and cinema. In other words, art. 📽 🎨 📚 What else? 🎭 Well, you might want to know that I have a background in theatre that gave me a strong creative mindset I always want to include in my projects. Finally, it's time to share with you one of my favourite quotes, a line from Robert Frost's poem: "The best way out is always through." These words always guide me to overcome obstacles that come up both in life and work.

I have a passion for telling stories and connecting people. Nothing makes me happier than a streamlined workflow! It's how you get stuff done! With 12+ years experience in marketing and 6+ years of experience specific to event marketing, I’ve worked for large institutions, mid-level brands, small local businesses, and most recently, in the tech start-up space. I combine brand and growth marketing — with a focus on content creation, strategic partnerships, and SEO. In my current role as VP of Marketing at The Vendry — a venture backed start-up in the events space — I have been able to combine my passion for brand building with my passion for events. Whether designing an email campaign, sales brochure, or a large-scale activation, my focus is always: “How is this going to make people FEEL?” Because at the end of the day, how we feel influences how we act and ... ultimately how we live.
