Meet Rebecca Selkirk, our bubbly Public Relations and Engagement Manager at Yorkshire Air Ambulance. A proud Northerner, Rebecca lives in Leeds and joined the YAA team in January 2023. With a zest for storytelling, she is responsible for sharing the incredible tales of our fundraising triumphs, charity milestones, and heartwarming patient stories with local press publications. Through her efforts, she ensures that the vital mission of our charity resonates far and wide.

Rebecca’s journey in the realm of healthcare communications began within the esteemed NHS before expanding her experience at a rapidly growing care home company, as part of their press office. Rebecca said, “Working within the healthcare industry has always held a special place in my heart. The privilege of meeting and interacting with inspiring patients, and being a part of their journeys, is truly remarkable. When the opportunity arose to be a part of such an iconic Yorkshire charity, I enthusiastically leapt at the chance.”

Beyond the world of press releases and engaging narratives, you’ll find Rebecca immersed in the electrifying atmosphere of gigs and festivals. Additionally, Rebecca passionately pursues her love for horse riding, embracing the excitement and adrenaline that comes from the equestrian world.

An interesting fact about Rebecca adds to her vibrant personality: She resided on the sun-kissed island of Lanzarote, Spain, from the ages of 11 to 16, immersing herself in the vibrant culture and becoming fluent in Spanish. This unique experience bestowed upon her a deep appreciation for diversity and a love for embracing different cultures.
