About Me

Human beings are not rational creatures, however much we try to convince ourselves otherwise. As a features and editorial writer, I endeavour to encourage my readers to be critical of information presented as facts. If that seems like hard work for those who choose to read my articles then I have failed in my equally important aims to engage and entertain. Judging by the responses to my work and the numbers of readers it attracts, I'm not doing too badly.
Beyond trying to change human nature and psychology I do my best to manipulate it to direct readers to my clients' websites. In blog and article writing I bring with me an established readership and my SEO pieces are always keyword rich but read as naturally as any piece of conversational yet informative prose. A look at my blog and my website will prove that I can vary writing style effortlessly from formal and technical to warm, intimate and ever so occasionally, humorous.

Work Experience

Communication has been key to every professional role I have undertaken. While working in stem cell research my abilities to command technical language and present data were invaluable. In my writing, I believe, I have an empathy for the reader and am able to convey even difficult and technical information in a clear and concise manner without ever dumbing down nor resorting to over simplification.

Education

Confident of nothing short of outstanding GCSE results, at the age of 16, I applied for a scholarship to study for the International Baccalaureate at the United World College of the Atlantic. My application was successful and an education way beyond the boundaries of the IB's curriculum began. Coming from a single parent family, I had never had the means nor opportunity for international travel but surrounded as I was by people of my own age, each academically gifted, I found my ideas and idealism challenged at every turn. I became, as a result, a lover of reason and rejector of the superstition and insularity of my upbringing. This was my spur to study neuroscience in which I chose modules in electrophysiology, endocrinology and biochemistry along side the compulsory neuroanatomy, physiology, neuropharmacology and neurohistology modules.
