Q. When you’re at a networking event, how do you describe your independent career status, and where you focus your work?

‍

‍Consultant. Freelance. Contractor. I actively lead web projects, and manage agencies/cross functional teams across multiple geographies.

‍

3. Why do you think there is increasing demand for independent expertise?

‍

‍Demand obviously fluctuates depending on the sector - but with companies endeavouring to pin down talent in the UK against economic uncertainty and a Brexit driven drain, demand for independent expertise, and also permanent hires, is definitely on the rise.

‍

Q. Describe a recent or successful assignment in terms of scope, duration and any particular milestones in the results.

‍

‍I was recently hired as a digital project manager, tasked with building and managing the EU corporate website and managing multiple external partners to deliver the project plan. I established and maintained dashboards, KPIs and reporting key to delivery, built strong relationships with stakeholders and enabled effective cross functional collaboration across our strategic external partners.

‍

5. What's your favourite thing to do when you're not on the clock?

‍

‍I am a professional actor in Stage, Film and Television and also a photographer.

‍

6. What is the biggest challenge you had to face in your career so far and how did you overcome it?

‍

‍It's been a challenge to manage two or more non intersecting professional skill sets, and finding the work v life balance is always the hardest to navigate!
