Speaking

Having previously worked as an actor and presenter, I am a confident and experienced speaker. I have hosted and contributed to over 30 podcasts and in-person events. Topics I regularly speak about include mental health, exercise, digital culture, addiction, relationships, community, and pop culture.

Digital Content

I currently work in the Social & Community team at Skyscanner, managing and growing the brand's global TikTok account.

At the Mental Health Foundation, I led on social media and digital content for Scotland, as well as producing and hosting the charity's UK podcast which received 2000+ downloads per episode. I supported the planning and execution of high profile campaigns - including the most globally recognised mental health campaign - Mental Health Awareness Week.

In September 2020 I launched Living Leith Podcast; hosting, producing and editing 17 episodes for season one - receiving over 5000 downloads. We built an engaged following of 3000+ across our social channels, and collaborated with the Leith For Ever exhibition. Season Two launched in February 2022.

From September 2018 to March 2021, I managed content across the Screen Scotland website and social media channels. I built the the partnership’s digital presence, gaining over 8.5k followers and 600+ subscribers to the newsletter - which averaged a 60% open rate. I helped develop a data-based website promoting Scottish filming locations to international filmmakers. Producing video content and website features, I interviewed the likes of Nicola Sturgeon, Alan Cumming, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Heughan, Chris Pine and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

I am an experienced video producer. From the age of 9 I was creating on YouTube, and I studied filmmaking at university before producing several short films. I enjoy creating lifestyle reels on Instagram.
