I worked with Alex at Outreach Communications for 3 years on complex, global issues in a challenging, virtual environment and Alex met the challenge…With a solid background from local to the global, across multiple issues from food systems to human rights, and on behalf of diverse stakeholders from philanthropy to the public sector, Alex brings her vast experience and expertise to a wide range of communications challenges that will ‘translate visions and change minds’.

Alex not only delivered words, she also worked towards building a culture of understanding where patient and public education meets good marketing and communications practice.”
