About
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved writing. Stories at Primary School, essays for History and English exams, letters to pen pals (yes, I’m from the pre-digital generation), articles for school and staff magazines, and now it’s copy of all descriptions, blogs and social media posts. I’m still hell-bent on writing a book one day too!
As a teenager, my burning desire was to be a music journalist. After hairspray and extra strong styling gel, every spare penny of my pocket money went on the likes of the NME, Melody Maker and Smash Hits. My personal style was a mish-mash of Goth fashion and the sounds of the Top 40 – I truly believe I was the only Goth in Essex who listened to Wham! and sported a Choose Life t-shirt!

My grand entrance into the big wide world of work was as an Office Junior at the age of 18, having had to tone down the Goth child persona as nobody would employ me! Over the next 24 years, I flitted through a veritable Smorgasbord of industries, gradually working up the ranks from Office Junior to PA/Office Manager.

Head of Wordy Bird Wellbeing
Starting a business at the age of 42 was absolutely terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time. Learning how to market myself, hold my own in networking meetings and keep on top of the delights of invoicing clients was the steepest of learning curves – and that was without the actual day to day stuff of looking after my clients.
Would I change anything? Hell no!
Have the goalposts shifted since I started in 2012? You bet your life they have!
When I’m not being a Wordy Bird copywriter, you’ll find me enjoying the delights of cricket and F1. I love curling up with a good book, and cooking up a feast in the kitchen is how I keep calm. You’ll also find me in fitness and aqua aerobics classes, having learned that my own wellbeing really does matter!
In 2021 I adopted a 10 year old feline, taking a step closer on the path to Crazy Cat Lady. Miss Daisy is the Head of Wellbeing at Wordy Bird HQ, spending most of her days sleeping soundly by my side as I create knockout content for my clients.

When I’m not being a Social Media Superhero, you’ll find me enjoying the delights of MotoGP, F1 and cricket. I love a good book, and I have an ever-growing gin collection. I’m also a keen cook – utterly addicted to any foodie show on the TV – and every so often, I’ll indulge in my passion for baking. I still love music and going to gigs, although these days it’s the seated areas rather than standing room only.
