I am a freelance marketing professional with over 20 years publishing experience in both the UK and overseas. I am professionally qualified with an IDM Diploma in Direct Marketing.

I studied Philosophy at Sussex University and started working in publishing shortly after graduating. My first job was selling advertising space in career recruitment guides. A year later, I moved to Spain and became a sales representative for an ELT publishing company covering Barcelona and the Pyrenees. I went on to become a Regional Manager with a small sales team.

On my return to the UK, I joined the education division at HarperCollins in a marketing role. From there I became Sales & Marketing Manager at Letts Educational covering both schools and trade marketing before taking up the position of Head of Marketing at OUP. I then went on to become Marketing Director at Scholastic Education and Mary Glasgow.

I have recently worked in the Children's division at HarperCollins as Interim Head of Marketing. I am now a full time marketing freelancer.
