I’m a communications, content and marketing specialist with 21 years of experience in the UK and the Middle East. Over the past two decades, I've worked for global brands in hospitality, design, aviation and food & beverage, both in-house and agency-side.
Born and educated in the UK, with a BA in Architectural Studies and an NCTJ Certificate in Journalism, I developed a niche specialism as a magazine editor for design titles including Middle East Architect and Commercial Interior Design.
Moving into brand marketing with Dubai Airports, I oversaw all digital and physical content at the world’s biggest airport, including the launch of a dedicated Time Out magazine. My passion for F&B led to a role as Senior Manager of Content Creation at luxury food group Bateel International, where I worked hand-in-hand with the culinary team to launch new products and restaurant concepts.
Most recently, I joined digital agency Crowd as Global Head of Content, delivering high-impact projects for hospitality and government clients such as Premier Inn, Sharjah Airport and BEEAH.
