In summary:
I’m a writer, editor and Digital Marketing Officer for Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity. The words on this blog are my own, of course.
I’m also happy to write for others, so please do email me if you’d like a chunk of my keyboard time. I have a Linked In profile you can peruse, too.
Here’s the long version:
I am a writer and editor with varied experience, particularly in the technology and charity sectors.
I am Digital Marketing Officer for Dogs Trust, currently maintaining our newly relaunched website and specialising in developing social networking pages for marketing, establishing brand identity and warmth and occasionally fundraising; see, for example, the charity’s Facebook Page. I have spoken at a number of NFP events on Dogs Trust and social networking, particularly our use of Twitter, through which we’ve found homes for several dogs. I am responsible for blogging regularly about issues related to animal welfare, too.
As part of my professional development, I’ve recently completed – and blogged about - the IDM’s Complete Digital Marketing course. I intend to take the professional Certificate next year, and am currently getting stuck into learning more about AdWords, email marketing and data segmentation.
I am a regular contributor to sparky women’s lifestyle blog, BitchBuzz, particularly on baking, design and culture. My interest in reviews and popular culture also led to my becoming an official reviewer for remotegoat.co.uk, and contributing occasional reviews to feminist powerhouse The F Word and book review site Litmob.
You can find an array of links to my writing, interviews with me and pieces about social media featuring Dogs Trust on the “My Online Life” page.
I love baking and cats (not to be combined) almost beyond reason, and have a complete obsession with Disney, in particular Walt Disney World in Florida. I would love to work for The Mouse one day. That photo? Taken at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, oh yes. Otherwise I read, write, swim slowly, jog badly and get addicted to social Internet stuff.
If you’d like to know about what I did before this, then head over to the “Things I’ve Done” page, visit my Linked In profile or drop me a line.
