Siobhan’s background and expertise

Background:

I've been at Hodge for three years now, working across all kinds of content, from blogs and web pages to social media campaigns. I have an English degree, a Psychology degree, and I'm CIM Level 4 qualified in Marketing - which basically (or hopefully) means I understand how people think and how to talk to them. Well, most of the time. I grew up in Surrey with Irish roots, which explains the name. But if Siobhan is hard to pronounce, most people call me Shiv. I live in Cardiff with my husband, two kids, and an extremely cute dog. I like live music, books, beach days, brunch, travelling anywhere, and being around friends and family. I don't like theme parks (queues), high-intensity cardio (mainly the red face I get), organised fun (just fun for me, please), or end-of-season cliffhangers (I mean, come on - did we really need to wait 12 months to find out if Jon Snow wasn’t actually dead?). I hope you enjoy reading what I write as much as I enjoy writing what you read.
