About me
Considering that I had a ‘first sentence’ rather than a first word, and my favourite book at the time was a dictionary… it’s fair to say that I’ve been passionate about words from a very early age.
Since then, and for the past 20 years in particular, my love of language and appreciation for a well-turned phrase has been the driving force of my life as a writer, editor, and author.
It’s been my absolute pleasure and privilege to have pursued my passion for writing in a wide variety of fields including scientific and medical research, journalism, public relations, advertising, marketing and more. This diverse and extensive experience means I’m able to offer a unique and valuable skill set that delivers incredible results for my clients.
Along the way, I’ve successfully completed an MSc, a Postgraduate Certificate in Editing & Publishing, a Diploma in Digital Marketing, and a Diploma in Journalism. And I’ve had the good fortune to have my work published in newspapers, magazines, and anthologies. For examples of my work, please see my portfolio, and for more information on my formal qualifications and experience, please visit my LinkedIn profile.
