ABOUT HELEN HEATH

I\'ve worked with words and knowledge sharing across a broad range of roles over the last 27 years, including communications; marketing and publicity; workshop facilitating; events management; project management; editing; and digital media. The common focus is my love of communicating – I’m a passionate storyteller. I’ve worked for companies, academic institutions, not-for-profits and government. I know how to make big ideas work within a small budget. I know how to tell a compelling story coupled with solid research know-how. Relationship building is my happy place. Getting things to run smoothly is my superpower. I have ninja-level workload management skills. I am an award-winning poet. I was accepted into the most prestigious creative writing school in New Zealand. My MA thesis is a critically acclaimed book of poetry called \'Graft\' published by VUP in 2012. The creative component of my PhD thesis (a book of poetry titled \'Are Friends Electric?) was published in 2018 also by VUP. Both won our top national book award for their categories. My PhD study taught me to apply improved rigour to all my writing, along with outstanding workload management. I am highly motivated and proactive, I love a challenge. I Like to work to the best of my abilities and I am tenacious about getting things right.
