Originally form the UK, I grew up in Somerset and am a graduate of University college, London. In the 1990s and 2000s I held various sales and marketing positions at press and publishing houses including Lonely Planet and The Guardian. Since 2003 I have managed events and marketing projects across a range of sectors—from government departments, not-for-profits and arts organizations to technology and new media businesses. My projects have included work for The New Statesman, Breast Cancer Coalition UK, and Google. I currently work for PEN American Center an organization whose mission centers around Free Expression and the promotion of a global literary community. I have been a New Yorker since 2008.

Travel and making travel plans. Reading: favorite books include Brideshead Revisited and The Songlines. I am a Mayflower descendant and have dreams of writing a book around this part of family history
