Work with me

I am passionate about helping organisations create spaces, experiences and stories where disabled people truly belong.

As a wheelchair user with tetraplegia, a competitive handcyclist competing internationally, a marketing expert with 15 years of experience, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to the work I do.

Over the past few years I have worked across sport, fitness, marketing and advocacy to challenge how disability is represented and experienced. Through my Churchill Fellowship research on inclusive fitness, my work with sports organisations, and my own journey as an athlete, I have developed a deep understanding of what inclusion really looks like in practice.

This gives me a unique perspective across accessibility, sport, travel, storytelling and brand engagement.

What Can I Do For You?

Some of the ways we could work together:

Speaking & Panel Discussions

I speak about disability, inclusive sport, adaptive fitness and representation. My talks combine lived experience as a tetraplegic athlete with professional insight from the sports and marketing industry, helping organisations understand how inclusion can move from intention to action.

Content Creation

I create original content that shares stories from adaptive sport, disability and inclusive fitness. this includes posts, videos/reels, interviews and behind-the-scenes insights that help audiences understand the reality of living and competing with a disability. I can create for you video coverage for events, interviews, product reviews. Written articles on the topics of disability sports, inclusion, marketing.

Marketing Consultancy

I advise organisations, brands and sports bodies on how to make their communications and campaigns more inclusive. My work includes developing short-term and long-term strategy, brand architecture, go-to-market plans, social media content, event planning and organisation, and building sponsorships and partnerships, alongside guidance on representation, messaging, accessible content and engaging disabled audiences authentically

Workshops & Training

Topics might include Foundations of Inclusive Marketing; Disability Representation in Sport and Brand Storytelling; Creating Accessible Content for Social Media; Inclusive Sport and Fitness Communications for sports organisations, gyms and fitness brands.

Inclusive Fitness Audits & Staff Training

I support gyms, leisure centres and sport venues to become more accessible, welcoming and inclusive for people with disabilities. Through accessibility audits, customer journey reviews and disability inclusion training, I help organisations identify opportunities for improvement and equip staff with the knowledge and confidence to support a diverse range of customers.
