I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in 2005 with an honours degree in Journalism. After a round the world trip I moved down to London from Preston and began work at the Impact Agency in March 2007.

Between finishing university and starting at Impact, I worked across a wide range of relevant sectors - in the hospitality trade and have gained valuable work experience from a regional paper - the Lancashire Evening Post. Other experience included an Australian national paper - The Age, a sports news agency called Sportsbeat and from a specialist food and drink marketing and communication company called Thought for Food.

I have always had a keen interest in the media and through my studies and work experience I have been able to consolidate my skills and work for Impact where my role continues to be exciting and challenging.

In my spare time I am an avid sportsman playing rugby, football, golf, cricket and tennis.
