Words have the power to wound, to heal, to delight, excite, entice, rouse, repulse, evoke, shock, reassure, flatter, enamour, motivate, exhilarate, defenestrate, comfort and convince. They can quicken the pulse, change the mind, chill the bones, prick the conscience, warm the heart, raise the stakes and seal the deal.

Clear and effective communication is vital in order to be taken seriously, raise your profile, successfully promote your products and services, and get ahead in business. Whatever message you want to convey, you can rely on my wordsmith magic to do it for you in just the right way, on time and within budget.

I'm an experienced and accomplished freelance researcher, writer and editor with first-rate communication skills and a meticulous eye for detail and accuracy. I have a unique but eminently versatile style and a proven track record for transforming sloppy copy into persuasive, punchy, pitch-perfect and professional prose.

My background is in business administration, media and marketing, and previous assignments have included press releases, SEO web content, branding exercises, company profiles, travel guides and promotional copy. I have a scholarship from leading London advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi and am currently studying with the British College of Journalism.
