About me

A creative and dynamic media professional with a career in picture editing and content creation across print newspapers, web publications, online content and digital asset libraries. Highly- organised with a flair for spotting a great story and selecting images which ignite the imagination and capture public interest. Experienced in leading and organising teams of journalists, photographers and freelances, coordinating complex schedules and delivering against the fast-paced demands of breaking news and 24-hour media. Possessing a high-awareness of current events and an ability to quickly understand requirements of multiple teams across sports, politics, lifestyle, health, science, celebrity and other content segments, I have consistently led teams to capture and source relevant images which support editorial and journalistic content. Twenty six years in journalism from sports magazines to national newspapers and top Technology companies has brought me a wealth of experience & knowledge in management, picture editing and the ever-changing world of media in the UK & around the world.

I'm a highly motivated senior manager with excellent negotiation skills & knowledge of image copyright.

My 25 years in journalism and media have brought me excellent communication and collaboration skills, making sure that the team is working well, motivated and adhering to best practises at all times. Working in the UK and Ireland has given me the experience of working in fast paced multicultural teams. I am very much a proactive, results driven team player who thrives on learning and developing not only myself but my colleagues.
