My aim is to be interesting and informative, to produce something engaging, that catches the eye, giving the reader a reason to read on, to be persuaded, or to buy. In addition to writing, I am a competent and experienced administrator, with a good working knowledge of Excel spreadsheets. My background in science helps me to write authoritatively on a wide range of subjects.

    I graduated from Leeds University in 1977 with a BSc Hons in Biochemistry. Whilst working full-time in shipping for 7 years, I also worked as a part-time and later full-time political agent, working in Leeds and Pudsey on local campaigning and in General elections. I wrote copy for a wide range of literature and campaign materials, as well as press releases and policy documents.

    In 1989 I graduated from St Martin’s College, Lancaster with a PGCE in teaching secondary-school science. I worked at schools in Selby, North Yorkshire and Blackburn, Lancashire teaching physics and general science. I then worked for six years for Preston College, delivering training in IT skills to primary school teachers and ancillary staff, and running Adult Education courses. At the same time I developed primary school science course materials, worksheets and literature.

    Prior to going full-time freelance, I worked in administration for the NHS in Blackburn, including doing IT tuition and providing statistical information to management. I currently write a daily column for an online reminiscence newspaper, as well as a daily quiz and a monthly resource pack, all aimed at bringing a little sparkle into the lives of people in care homes and day centres across the country.
