"I founded Huge Promotions Ltd in 2004 at the age of 23 representing clients from across the fashion, lifestyle and beauty industries. I’ve been short listed for business awards, including Handbag.com and Barclays Business Plan Awards and am a regular face to business and regional press; Huge PR has a definite spot on the PR map.
I started in the fashion industry writing for the regional lifestyle magazine, 69 and I continue to contribute to their fashion pages.
During this time I wrote fashion and beauty articles for various media publications including regional newspaper, Leicester Mercury, where I was their resident Beauty Columnist, and the trade publication, Pure Beauty.
At 69 Magazine I was responsible for producing editorial copy and sourcing fashion and beauty products for photo shoots. I attended lots of fashion and beauty press events, developing my product knowledge and contacts and created a number of fashion and beauty spreads for the magazine. This lead to a creative side-line as a Make-Up Artist and as such I produced a collection of photo shots for hairdressers, magazines and fashion shows. 
From 69, I moved on to the PR department at Boots Head Office in Nottingham. This role involved acting as a Media Liaison Officer, organising photo shoots, copy writing and finding new ways to promote products. I managed several accounts including: French Connection, Mikey, Kangol, No7 Cosmetics, Nuxe, Botanics, Matthew Williamson, Botox and new swim wear ranges. 
"People often ask me what made me want to work for myself– how did I have the balls to take the leap? My answer? I just knew I was capable".
With so many of my own ideas I wanted to make happen I decided to branch out. I carried out market research and identified a niche in the PR world for a company that offered more than just PR. Huge now concentrates on PR; events and fashion styling.
I have been picked to validate the only Masters Degree in the UK specialising in Public Relations. I have been selected to appear on the panel, from an industry level, and offer my expertise in authenticating the learning components of the degree. I currently lecture in entrepreneurship, fashion forecasting and styling for various colleges across the UK including the London College of Fashion. 
Teaching is incredibly rewarding. As a young person myself, the students respond well to my talks as they look at me and think, ‘If she can do it, I can do it’. It’s always very fulfilling for me when I have a queue of students waiting to speak to me at the end of a lecture, telling me I was inspirational and have spurred them on to achieve something, even if it’s just an attitude to try.I also regularly write for various press titles including the exclusive H magazine for members’ only creative hub, The Hospital Cub, London and I have a regular Style Column on www.VideoJug.com– the site where life is explained on film.In addition, I manage two sister companies, London Calling Ltd, specialising in trade shows and conceptual event services and Little Black Book - offering a blend of networking, exposure and business opportunities".
