Overview
Hey there! Reading has always been a huge part of my life so my journey into working with books professionally was meant to be. I've been a Brand Marketing Manager at Penguin Random House, where I worked for over 7 years.
I have extensive experience with social media marketing and have run many social media channels. I've worked across many genres, including mystery/thriller, women's fiction, and nonfiction, and I've created social media content for iconic authors such as Sally Rooney, Michelle and Barack Obama, and Blake Crouch. I've also made content for brands such as Star Wars, Stranger Things, and Game of Thrones.
I can help you create social media content and lifestyle images to make your social media channels look and feel great for readers.
Can't wait to provide my social media experience to your upcoming books!
