What you get with me

I’m a strategic and creative SEO/GEO writer and strategist and fractional head of content with 15+ years across SaaS, education, and language services (including taking an online brand from zero to +£250K in course sales). I bring clarity, autonomy, positivity, and dedication to help build brand presence, engage audiences, and deliver results.

Having led SEO/GEO, editorial, and multi-channel content strategies, I know how to grow awareness, convert, and make lasting audience connections. As a seasoned freelancer, I hit the ground running when serving clients, with excellent communications and deliveries always by the deadline.

I thrive in fast-paced, changing environments where I can strategize and execute on complex projects in the company of dedicated teams. Comfortable delegating, I’m also ready to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in.
