I live and breathe community and have done since my teens. From instant messenger to email groups, I was there, yack-yacking away.

With the advent of forums, an enduring love affair began and over the last seven years I have been lucky enough to launch a community-based diet platform at The Sun, manage the UK’s largest women’s community, launch the UK charity website of the year 2004 and head up a fantastic community management team for FreshNetworks.

Since early 2011, I have worked for NBC Universal-owned iVillage.co.uk, developing user acquisition strategies. As of March, 2012 I am working as head of community for the vibrant women’s community.
