Love chocolate, cats, aromatherapy, photography and box sets.

    Born in north east England, I'm a bona fide Geordie; I've also lived in the East Midlands (Nottingham), the South East/South Central (Gosport; Southampton), the West Country (Exeter; Bristol; Weston-super-Mare) and Northern Ireland (Belfast).

    If you need an article, product description or caption written, or information researched, I can help. I have over 20 years' experience of Internet and online research and writing, from rewrites to full-length original articles. I have had some formal journalism training as well as online marketing. My knowledge of current affairs is also very good and I keep a careful eye on UK legislation that might affect anything I write, such as GDPR.

    As a qualified modern languages teacher my knowledge of grammar is excellent too, so I can also help you with any editing or proofreading you may need. My 'A' levels include English, I also have RSA and BCS qualifications in typing, shorthand, and advanced word processing (Advanced ECDL). I read for both my BA and PGCE at Russell Group Universities (Nottingham and Newcastle) and my MA in Information and Library Management was awarded by the University of Northumbria at Newcastle.
