About
I am a former senior communications professional turned academic with research interests focused on three broad areas: public affairs and competencies; organisational communications and the role of arts, visual and spatial communication strategies; and the broader role of public relations in areas such as development and diplomacy. As a practitioner, I spent over 20 years working at senior levels in the private, public and third sectors including large corporations such as BT, start-ups, and not-for-profit organisations such as Centrepoint, the youth homelessness charity. I have experience of working regionally, nationally and at a pan-European level delivering high-level communication strategies and consultancy services.
