SOCIAL MEDIA PROFESSIONAL 

IMG_8335.jpeg

I’m a social media creator and strategist who’s obsessed with understanding what makes people stop scrolling. For me, great social isn’t about pushing ads, it’s about hooks, relatability and genuinely human ideas that audiences connect with.

I’ve had the chance to work at global agencies including McCann Manchester and HH Global, partnering with household brands such as Kia, Aldi, Santander and Warburtons. My experience spans everything from TikTok campaigns rooted in cultural trends to shaping creative direction on shoots. I know how to craft content that makes people lean in-not scroll past.

Social moves fast, and I’m always digging into what’s coming next. Lately I’ve been really interested in the rise of lo‑fi storytelling and community‑driven content, stripping things back, dropping the over‑polish, and giving people a voice that actually feels real and trustworthy.

 

I’m a friendly, positive and hands‑on team player who thrives in the fast‑paced, collaborative world of agency life. I love working across teams to help brands communicate what they do in a way that genuinely stands out, whether that’s through smart strategy, strong creative, or content that gets people talking.

 

When I'm not scrolling socials, you’ll likely find me watching Liverpool (usually suffering), going to gigs, or exploring the world, whenever I get the chance!

"If you're a writer, particularly if you're a  storyteller of any kind, there is
  something already
  kind of monstrously wrong with you."

"We don't have a choice whether we do social or not, the question is how well we do it."
