About me

I'm a communications and copywriting specialist with experience working in the non-profit sector, as well as B2C marketing. My writing and consultancy skills extend from writing, editing and presentation training to developing communications and campaign strategies and developing brand language guidelines. My copywriting experience includes concept development, headlines, straplines, short copy, long copy, and proofreading. I hold an MA in Professional Writing from London Metropolitan University and a BA in Communications from Simon Fraser.

I've written features and opinion pieces for Utility Week, B. There, Snipe, and European Journalism Centre and Green Business, among others.

I'm also an improviser, comedian and award-winning playwright. My first solo show 'Roman Around' had a successful Edinburgh run in 2010, and 2011. I regularly perform solo and group improvised comedy around London, and occasionally in other cities as well.

Additionally I coach improvisers and teach improvisational skills to actors, business professionals, and organizations that recognize the benefits of effective and relaxed communications.
