Through creativity and determination, I make sure that every venture succeeds.
I am the voice of NSC, with my background in marketing, writing, and events management, and manage our social media, email, copywriting, and editing.
I also help keep it real at NSC with good old-fashioned, down-to-earth admin.
I'm an advocate for sustainability and equality through all walks of life, which I bring to everything I do at NSC.
I’m often found geeking out over my various Notion pages or singing badly at karaoke with a proper cider in my hand.
