Account Executive

What I have done...

Before swapping sunny Queensland for London town, I packed my bags to travel the world (or most of the world!) Over four months I explored New York, France, Italy, the Greek Islands, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Prague, Amsterdam and Sarajevo (to name a few). I join Hills Balfour after nine months of PR and events experience in central London.

What I do now...

I work on a number of US accounts as well as Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Tourism Queensland (naturally!).

What I do for fun...

Although I’m an Aussie born and raised, I’m an East Londoner at heart. I enjoy filling my days with Spitalfields, Broadway and Columbia Road markets, sitting in London Fields with friends or a good book or magazine. I watch (and re-watch) episodes of Mad Men, Friends and The Hills and I of course enjoy travelling to new and exotic places when the opportunity arises.

What I bring to Hills Balfour...

Aside from an invaluable knowledge of Queensland, I bring six months experience in consumer PR from House PR. I’ve worked on a range of clients including Taste of London, St. Tropez, Freeview, Save the Children and First Drinks. I also have a tendency to start singing a Rihanna or Michael Jackson tune out loud without realising, and combined with an advanced level of hip hop dancing, I have been told I provide hours of entertainment.
