Biography

I am a multi-media expert and IT professional with extensive experience. I have worked on a range of projects and campaigns for high-profile clients during my 15-year career with T4G, along with 13 years of freelancing.

From the beginning, from the day I first used a computer I started to create and explore technology and I’ve continued that throughout my career. At any given point I was researching new things and bringing ideas to my bosses of how we could do things differently or new opportunities for us to reach for. Also my career at T4G I have constantly worked with various business units and teams as I brought a lot of value to the table.

This is how I’ve grown into the role of being one of the great Digital Support Specialists as I’ve never limited myself to just one task or technology I’ve constantly moved forward.
