About Hannah Collins

Experienced communications, media, marketing, and brand professional. My work in London, Adelaide, and New York, as well as my freelance work, has enabled me to work, write, and manage media for a variety of sectors including nonprofit / social sector, local and federal government, health and fitness, publishing, hospitality, and manufacturing. I have nineteen years\' experience working in communications and content roles, and a decade in the social sector: in disability, mental health, and victim services. My outgoing and empathetic personality, relationship building mindset, and project management skill have ensured my success in each of these roles. Strengths include relationship building, brand and messaging lead, creative campaign management, media management, crisis communication, and quality supervision and team building.I am particularly drawn to organizations that work to better the world we live in, and have shaped my career to focus on this. I currently live in New York and work in the victim service sector for a national leader, in a role that leads all external communication, messaging, brand, and marketing.
