    Summary: Having spent more than 10 years in journalism and PR in both in-house and agency roles, I understand how well-written copy can make a positive difference to your bottom line.

    I am experienced in a wide variety of sectors including education, agriculture, foodservice / food manufacture, and am equally happy writing a technical piece as producing catchy, memorable copy for an ad.

    Not only can I offer fantastic copywriting and editing and proofing that's second-to-none, I am also friendly, professional and will work hard to make sure I deliver a high-quality service.
