Work Experience
After University, having studied Law, I began my career working at the Market Research Society. At was at this point that it was suggested that I might try my hand at features writing. Since then I have been writing for the past six years professionally, publishing my first feature in 2004 in European Fund Focus.
I have edited and provided the bulk of the content for the R&D Bulletin, detailing cutting edge medical research. As a Communications Officer I also provided promotional material, content for both our intranet and internet sites. I was also a member of the editorial board, and provided content for the internal staff magazine.
