About meI believe in a world where everyone lives healthy, safe and dignified lives – not just the privileged few. Clear communication is a powerful step on this journey. Bringing these passions together, I offer editing, writing and training in the development, humanitarian and health sectors.

My back storyI’ve spent 12 years on your side of the fence, working for all sorts of organisations – a children's book publisher, a national statistics office, a royal college, a healthcare charity. I set up as a freelance editor and copywriter in 2016, following three years as Content and Publications Manager for Development Initiatives, a Bristol-based international development organisation. Before that I lived and worked in London, broken up by trips to Sri Lanka (with a conflict resolution think tank) and Costa Rica (with a sustainable development institute).

Working with meI'm easy to work with. I'm happy to tackle all sorts of jobs and timelines. Understanding that things don't always go to plan, I'm flexible. I'm happy to work from your brief, or to put one together by asking the right questions before we start so we're both clear on what you need.
I know what it means to get content fit for publication and will make your life easier along the way. |

When I'm not workingI can often be found running or cycling around the West Country or further afield. I love to read, write and take pictures. My research interests sit at the cross section between environment, development and sustainable travel. I'm a keen environmental campaigner. I live in Bristol, UK. I love to explore and learn about the world.
