What makes me tick
I've always had itchy feet (metaphorically, not medically). A want to experience new places, to meet different people, to find a new challenge.
At 18 I left Essex to travel around the world solo and few years have gone by since without an adventure abroad. But it's not just my leisure time I look for more, but my work too.
My career in marketing agencies has taken me across England - Essex, London, Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Birmingham. Companies of all sizes, working with people from various backgrounds and clients from different industries.
Now slap bang in the middle of the UK, in Lichfield, freelancing has opened up new opportunities and connections across the country. I hope to meet you soon.
Random facts about me
-
Don't be confused by my accent. I'm not Australian, in fact I'm from Essex. It's probably due too much Neighbours when a teenager, or the 8 months I spent there when 18.
-
Water sports are my bag. If you spot a bright yellow car with a blue kayak on it whizzing up a motorway that's probably me.
-
Even though I live alone I still like to cook. Mexican, Indian, Italian are favourites. I take photos of every new dish I try and scroll back through when I need inspiration.
