Chartered PR practitioner, who is all about telling beautiful stories for organisations with purpose. CIPR Cymru committee secretary. Outside of that, I'm a bookworm, dog, and horse owner, wife.
Grateful to my 2025 for what it has brought me and taught me. I'm proud of being part of @tirionhomes.bsky.social and their brand journey. For joining Cardiff Capital Region as Head of Comms & being able to take their storytelling to the next level. For my husband for keeping me grounded & loved.
With one dog terrified of fireworks and three horses that aren't overly joyful at the bangs, I'm all for silent fireworks so that people can enjoy the light display. Without risking the lives of animals.
More abandoned dogs in poor condition are being picked up and rehoming them is becoming harder, councillors have been told
I think there's always a moment in a PR career where we have an existential crisis. I've had it twice and yet something (and usually teeny tiny) shows me that it is where I want to lay my career hat. This stat does make me sad though.
It's great to see a stunt that looks to cause a reaction, more than just digital engagement or the number of shares. PR stunts still have their place and it's using them to create a conversation & being bold in the story you're telling.

Made it to the end of my first week as Head of Comms for Cardiff Capital Region. It's an incredible role, a great team & so many brilliant stories about innovation, investment & growth to tell. It's where to start! #NewJob
It was great to launch our "In Conversation" CIPR Cymru events with @itvcymruwales.bsky.social Rob Osborne yesterday. What stood out for me was that we must be authentic in how we tell our stories. Thanks to my co-host Mark Woods.
I think what gets me is the "I just needed someone to listen for five minutes." It was an honour to meet Gavin & hear his story. We all have our mental health struggles & someone listening can be the start of something better.
As it is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, I want to say a massive thank you to CIPR Influence @cipr.co.uk for including me amongst some amazing #Comms #PR professionals exploring how we boost our mental health.

It's days and views like this that can remind me that taking a break from the pressures of work is so vitally important. That stepping away, enjoying the peace, can make all the difference.
I am so proud to be included in this @cipr.co.uk blog for International Women's Day and advice that I would pass on... thank you so much CIPR 💓

"This groundbreaking research should be a wake-up call to industry leaders to ask what they are going to do to change the experience of women working in public relations for the better."

I was really pleased to support Tirion Homes through this rebrand. To see their values evolve & be represented with an updated tone of voice, colour palette and more to suit their ambitions. One for the career highlights.

Just a quick update following the CIPR announcement today that regional PRide Awards are to end. We've got good news that in Wales, the #CIPRCymruAwards are not going anywhere, and the Wales committee will be launching the 2025 Awards in the Spring. Watch 👀 this space.
Cadbury has been using the same campaign since 2018 cause it works: Dialling up ‘brand difference’ helps Cadbury's top festive ad consumer ranking.
