About me
After almost 8 years in Publishing, I have decided to branch out and challenge myself in a new industry. I have varied skills and experience which are applicable to many other fields outside my specific expertise. I am an organised and thorough worker with attention to detail and a strong creative streak. My favourite part about previous roles in publishing was the opportunity to be hands-on in the design and creation of books, so I am hoping to be able to apply my skills in new and exciting ways.
