About Me

My style is smiley, relaxed, friendly, inclusive, professional and enthusiastic. Whether you are looking me up for a wedding ceremony or a funeral/celebration of life ceremony; all my scripts are bespoke, highly personalised, well written and memorable; crammed with information and stories that come straight from you during our ceremony planning meeting! And my natural, supportive and relaxed but controlled delivery on the day evokes sincerity and significance, celebration, love, a sprinkling of humour (if appropriate) and some moving words of emotional loveliness!

I’m easy to talk to and pretty unflappable. With a professional background in writing, event management, photography and story-focused video production for global corporates, UK charities and local communities, I’m a sensitive and encouraging listener, a lover of people, a creative, natural writer and story teller, a professional speaker and a stickler for originality and detail. I love to learn, and I’m always learning.

I’m a big fan of making the most of life. For me, that means music, gigs, music festivals, films, friendship, holidays, seaside and country walks, city life, socials, art, spoken word, getting involved in my community; dogs, puppies, cats,  and red wine!

I’m a humanist by nature (I love people, animals and the planet, I believe in fairness and equality, I’m not religious and I believe that we only get one life). I grew up in Harrogate, moved to London, then Surrey, then back to Harrogate (for 20 years) and now – a new adventure in the North East – we live where the river meets the sea, on the vibrant Fish Quay North Shields, 8 miles outside of the amazing city of Newcastle upon Tyne, and a mile from Tynemouth.
