About Me

Hi, Thanks for visiting my website!

Here’s a little more about me and how I ended up here…

I grew up in Edinburgh before moving to the South of Scotland in 2015. I love rural living but much of my work still takes me back to the Central Belt, enjoying the best of both worlds.

I studied Festival & Event Management at Edinburgh Napier University and so far, I’ve enjoyed a hugely varied career that I’m incredibly proud of and I’ve had the chance to work with so many brilliant people along the way.

From managing high profile Government events, working in International hotel development teams, to regionwide rural festivals and creating impactful marketing campaigns for visitor attractions and music festivals to name a few highlights, it has been an amazing journey so far and we’re just at the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

As well as project managing events and marketing organisations, I am also an Action Learning Facilitator and Three Horizons Practitioner which has allowed me to support organisations and communities locally and nationally to develop sustainable visions for the future, explore new perspectives and navigate the complexities of change.

I am passionate about working in the Third Sector, supporting social justice and human rights projects and I love learning and taking time out to study too.

I’ve worked with so many incredible organisations and communities and I’m looking forward to where 2026 will take us!
