About me

First-class graduate with solid writing, digital marketing and editorial skills. I am highly organised, pay excellent attention to detail and can manage projects on my own initiative. I enjoy all sorts of writing and read an array of fiction/non-fiction. 

My passion for creativity started young. I began by writing poetry and short stories in primary school; and this love of writing continued throughout my education. I joined a team of young writers whilst studying English A-level to produce journalistic articles for 'Reality Magazine' published in the Jersey Evening Post.

Since then I have continued to write, producing features for my blog and an anthology of poetry and fiction. I have also produced various types of copy during employment and freelance, including complex policy documents, advertisements for print/digital, and digital marketing content for charity/business promotion and to increase brand awareness. I have also produced content for websites and magazines.

During my education, I wrote a number of first-class academic essays and two 10,000 word dissertations for my undergraduate and masters degrees. I am also well versed in drafting legal documentation. I further developed my copy editing and proofreading skills professionally by project editing a hard copy legal handbook, and then restructuring and formatting the content for an online government platform.

I have undertaken many further qualifications to gain knowledge in this field, including a Business Law Course at BPP Law School specialising in Media Law, Commercial Law and Intellectual Property. I have also completed a Book-Editing course, a Proofreading and Editorial Skills course, and a Digital Marketing Certificate. I've gained a wide range of experience and adaptable skills, and intend to do another round of proofreading and editorial courses to keep my skills up to date. Whilst studying in London, I joined various writing groups and a book club, and also assisted a French student with her English. 

All my jobs have had an element of writing, editing and proofreading involved. I have worked as an Admin and Ops Officer for a local charity which included managing the website content and social media, and proofreading policy documents and the like. Previous roles include Administration Assistant doing website management, social media and brand building for a local company; Digital Marketing and Communications Manager for a local tennis club; Marketing and Media work for another local diversity charity in my spare time; and Project Editor for local government updating, formatting and proofreading a long and complicated social policy handbook. I am articulate, meticulous, proactive and can work autonomously.
