About
As a Social Media Consultant and founder of CrossConnect Media, I specialise in developing and managing digital marketing strategies that enhance brand visibility and audience engagement across multiple platforms. My work combines creative storytelling with data-driven insight to deliver effective and measurable results. With a First-Class Honours degree in Multimedia Sports Journalism and previous experience in sports media production, including roles at major international events such as the FIFA World Cup and Roland Garros, I have a strong foundation in broadcast workflows and digital content creation.
I am now looking to return to the sports industry, focusing on roles in sports broadcasting, content production, and data or match analysis where I can apply both my creative and analytical skills.
