About

I am an experienced social media manager with nearly two decades of working in football, sports and entertainment. I look forward to passing on the knowledge I have gleaned from my years of experience to my students.

Qualifications

Experience in industry

I spent 8 years running the social media for West Bromwich Albion Football Club, as well as playing an integral role in their communications team. This was followed by 5 years at The Football Association, where I ran the social media and customer engagement teams for Wembley Stadium. I have since worked in Digital Marketing for both Virgin Bet and BHSF.

In the media

I ran and fronted the West Bromwich Albion YouTube channel throughout my time at the club, as well as doing match-day commentaries.

My work on social media is also readily available, as I ran the West Bromwich Albion social media channels throughout my tenure there and the Wembley Stadium channels for 5 years.
