I am a Corporate Communications professional with 11+ years of experience helping startups, founders, and global companies communicate with clarity and impact. My background spans B2B PR, executive communications, content strategy, and thought leadership across organisations including Experian, ANDRITZ Group, and scaling startups operating in the Americas and EMEA. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and an MBA in Marketing, alongside a Master's degree from the University of Westminster (UK). Throughout my career, I've translated complex, technical, and data-heavy topics into content that engages customers, employees, investors, and the media. My expertise includes executive ghostwriting for CEOs and founders, LinkedIn thought leadership, blog articles (SEO/AEO), newsletters, website copy, eBooks, press releases, media relations, internal communications, employer branding, and strategic content planning. Whether you need a single piece of content or an end-to-end communications strategy, I focus on creating content that is authentic, commercially relevant, and aligned with your business goals. REGARDING MY UPWORK PROFILE I'm new to Upwork, which is why I'm currently building my profile here. To do that, I'm offering my services at a competitive rate while delivering the same level of quality I've provided to startups and multinational organisations. I'm reliable, organised, easy to work with, and comfortable managing projects independently. I'm available for both short and long-term collaborations. WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE I combine the strategic thinking of a communications manager with a passion with data and business acumen skills, combined with strong writing skills of a professional copywriter and ghostwriter. I don't just write, I learn your voice, understand your audience, and create content that people actually want to read, share, and engage with. Whether you're building your personal brand, launching a product, or growing your company's visibility, my goal is to make your message stand out and earn media.

I'm an independent public relations practitioner, former investigative journalist, and principal of Barry Media Consulting. My career has been built around a passion for mass communications in public affairs: journalism, strategic communications, and helping organizations communicate with clarity, credibility, purpose, and a heavy attention and commitment to detail quality. Over the past decade, I've worked within and alongside both sides of the media landscape. As a journalist, I covered state and local government, business and economic development, investigated public officials, interviewed national figures, and reported on stories that drew statewide and national attention. Those experiences taught me the importance of thorough research, rigorous fact-checking, asking tough questions, and understanding what makes a story genuinely newsworthy. Today, I help clients navigate complex communications challenges through media relations and earned media strategy, thought leadership, executive communications, stakeholder engagement, and strategic messaging. I bring a reporter's mindset to every project, combining curiosity, accuracy, and sound editorial judgment with a practical understanding of how organizations and leaders need to communicate in today's environment. Throughout my career, I've worked with government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, elected officials, and industry leaders, helping them tell their stories in ways that resonate with both the media and the audiences they serve. Whether I'm developing a media strategy, preparing a spokesperson for an interview, ghostwriting an op-ed, or conducting in-depth research, my goal is always the same: to help clients build trust, strengthen their reputation, and achieve meaningful results. My work has been recognized with multiple honors from the Public Relations Society of America, and I continue to be driven by a simple belief: good communications starts with facts, credibility, and a genuine commitment to serving the public interest.
