My fascination with computers and the media continued to grow, and after earning a degree at the University of Bradford I began my career in digital.

Since I started my career as an SEO Consultant I have been fortunate to work on many exciting campaigns, from large multilingual international SEO, to small start-ups backed by some of the biggest names in retail.
