My own story!
|
As a child, I was fascinated with the Book Makers at
the bottom of our road. I daydreamed over the magical work going on
behind the darkened windows to bring great stories to us
kids…
My
enlightenment over what really went on behind the Book Makers’ window
did
little to dampen my fascination with the power of words. I studied Communications, at Goldsmiths, majored in journalism, landed a job as a
reporter, and then decided that crime reporting wasn’t for me.
I was more at home writing inspirational
features about people who did positive things and creating PR opportunities by
finding the story behind the story (as we know, journalists aren’t interested
in a story that cannot be dug up!).
Since
then I've moved between various journalism and PR roles, and taught
journalism to undergraduates at Goldsmiths and the LCP. I worked as
deputy editor of a magazine for people with multiple sclerosis, as
editorial director of an education magazine for parents, then was
offered a job as regional PR manager for Barnado’s. Today I use my experience and knowledge to
help businesses communicate more effectively by finding marvelous ways to use their
Words with greater FX. |
