Strategic communications consultant, writer and coach
Based in Paris, France, I grew up in Hong Kong with a mother from Shanghai and a father from Sydney. This multicultural background, plus a career as a foreign correspondent, public relations expert and strategic science communicator in Asia, Europe and the U.S., has freed me from having a singular worldview, and powers my ability to connect dots in unexpected ways.
For the past decade, I’ve worked internationally on changing the way scientists connect with policymakers and the media, mostly around climate change and sustainability.
My first career was in the media, reporting on finance and markets across Asia, North America and Europe for Reuters and Agence France-Presse.
I have a Masters degree from Oxford University in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and I speak English, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.
What I do
I help people and organizations cut to the core of issues they face, frame responses in original and unexpected ways and communicate them strategically and memorably.
Drawing on a career in media, finance, science communications and non-profits, I have a unique approach that combines strategy, communications and foresight. I specialize in working with clients to co-create new perspectives that drive change.
Curious and passionate about the latest trends and practices of the digital transformation, I bring a digital-first mindset to all projects.
I work fast.
I listen well.
And I get results.
