Personal Details
I have a degree in BA in
Social Policy, which I received at Portsmouth University.
From the skills I acquired in my degree I have moved into
Public Relations. These make use of my excellent written skills,
and my personality - I am good in a crisis (and have much
experience within this realm due to working in a Mental health
Trust), have written numerous press releases, and been the
communications lead on many different events (including introducing
an events cycle into the Trust).
Throughout school and university,
I supported myself by writing and designing web pages (original
website). This means that I am particularly strong in
new media work. With the rapid recent and current development
of new media, we now cannot ignore its importance as a communications
channel. Increasingly we are seeing an interrelationship between
old and new media - for example new bulletins crediting Internet
sources, or showing the fragmented video of satellite phones
from correspondents in emergency zones. For many (including
journalists), in some contexts, new media offer primary communication
channels. Historically these new media presented a bigger
technical problem than an editorial one, leading to either
their neglect or a fracturing of their relationship with traditional
media. Now, technology is straightforward, and the emphasis
is on demonstrating an editorial and presentational congruence
between traditional and new media that shows a company to
be forward facing and organisationally agile.
For a less formal look at my
life here is some information about my friends,
family, and my sailing.
