About Me

WRITER EDITOR
I write company newsletters and video scripts that inspire employees, press releases and case studies that influence decision makers and award entries that win trophies.

I can ensure that your marketing materials are concise, complete, compelling and in line with your brand values. I will always invest time in thoroughly understanding your brief so that what I produce supports your business objectives.

A specialist in the B2B market, I have written copy for TNT Express, GE, ABB, Neopost and Klargester. In the B2C sector, I have worked for clients including Barclays and Marston's. I've done this stuff for 15 years and my clients love what I do.

PROOFREADER
Are your documents clear and accurate? Do your readers understand your copy without re-reading it several times? My job as a proofreader is to make sure they do.

My clients tell me that I help them avoid embarrassing mistakes and take the fear out of approving a document for print. Send your draft to me and I'll make sure it's spot on!

FRENCH to ENGLISH TRANSLATOR
I am a fluent French speaker and was part of the team that developed the Open University's first French course. I also lectured in French at St. Andrews University. I regularly translate documents from French to English, working across a variety of sectors.

TRAINER COACH
I train business people in editing, proof reading, business writing and presentation skills.
I offer one-to-one executive coaching on topics such as confidence, communication skills and time management.
Clients value my energy, listening skills, creativity, clear thinking and attention to detail.
