Brief CV:
After graduating in 2004 I spent six months working in Yosemite, California and a further year working at a London production company before realising my love of the North so moved back up to Manchester.

During this time I spent time working as a publicist on accounts including Hasbro Toys, Weight Watchers, WD40 and the European Health and Fitness Association.

I joined Burnley Enterprise back in 2006 and since then have headed up various initiatives including ‘beconnected’ – a Burnley based networking event which I launched in 2007. I’m planning to launch beconnected to a wider audience in 2010 and beyond.

What’s keeping you busy?
Getting out in to the community and promoting enterprise to the masses!

Best piece of business advice:
It's not what you know but who you know.
