Professional Experience:

I am a senior communications and visibility specialist with over ten years of professional experience supporting international organisations, EU-funded programmes, and purpose-driven institutions across climate action, global health, gender equality, and international development. My work sits at the intersection of strategic communication, digital storytelling, and hands-on delivery, with a strong focus on clarity, coherence, and audience engagement.

I have extensive experience designing and implementing communications strategies for multi-stakeholder programmes, including EU-funded regional initiatives, multilateral partnerships, and NGO-led consortia. My responsibilities have included developing communication and visibility plans, managing digital and social media channels, producing web and multimedia content, and ensuring compliance with EU visibility and branding requirements. I am comfortable translating complex policy and technical content into accessible, human-centred narratives tailored to diverse audiences, including policymakers, practitioners, and the general public.

In addition to strategy, I provide execution-focused support across the full communications cycle. This includes drafting and editing web content, social media copy, briefing notes, and knowledge products; coordinating with designers, videographers, and developers; and supporting the rollout of campaigns, events, and programme milestones. I have led the production of videos, toolkits, reports, and visual assets, often working remotely within distributed and multicultural teams.

I have a Master of Arts in Public Relations from the University of the Arts London (College of Communications).
