I've been immersed in the world of online courses for more than a decade.

I gained much of my experience as the instructional designer for an inspirational entrepreneur called Jon Morrow.

It was my job to turn Jon's product ideas into engaging and effective courses, several of which made $1m+ and enrolled 1,000+ students.

Later, as operations director, I ran the company day-to-day, overseeing several teams, multiple courses and a large membership programme.

Next, I started my own business focused on course creation.

Initially I worked with people 1:1, guiding small business owners through the process of packaging their expertise as effective online courses.

Then I channeled my learnings into an in-depth online programme called Build Your Best Course, which I refined with multiple cohorts of "beta" students.

Around the same time, I was invited to be one of a handful of certified Podia Pros, based on my knowledge of the platform.

Before all of this, I was a professional writer and editor.

My writing partner and I created and pitched numerous comedy format ideas to UK broadcasters like the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.

Our biggest success was creating a popular web series for the BBC called Henry 8.0, starring Brian Blessed as a cantankerous Henry VIII transported into the present day and playing out old rivalries over social media.

This led to an in-house role as a script writer and editor for BBC Comedy Online.

(In the background I also had a fun side business, writing wedding speeches for best men, grooms and fathers of the bride, all over the world.)

So that's me!
