Charity Board Member & Communications Lead@HS Support Network
Verified
With over a decade of experience as a creative freelancer specializing in portrait, beauty, and fashion photography, I bring a keen eye for detail, strong aesthetic judgment, and an innate ability to assess user-facing content from a visual and functional perspective. My career has spanned multiple industries—from civil service and corporate front-of-house roles to retail and hair & beauty—giving me a versatile, user-focused mindset and the ability to quickly adapt to new environments and workflows.
I also spent seven years in primary education as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), honing my communication, problem-solving, and tech-integration skills in high-pressure, collaborative settings.
Currently, I volunteer as a Social Media Patient Advocate for the chronic skin condition Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). I am an active member of the international HS Connect Crew and serve as Board Member and Communications Lead for the UK-based charity, The HS Support Network. Alongside this, I independently manage annual awareness events dedicated to the HS community.
I’m now excited to transition into the tech space through remote app testing—bringing together my analytical mindset, diverse work experience, and a genuine interest in user experience, accessibility, and digital functionality.More...
