Hello. Here's a bit about me... Following a career change in 2017 I have three years of writing experience, and before that, 12.5 years of corporate experience working for the research arm of a hedge fund. I'm passionate about writing and have a meticulous eye for detail. Also a confident communicator who is able to multi-task, prioritise, and work to strict deadlines. From 2016-2017 I embarked on a year-long trip travelling the globe, spanning 24 countries across America, Central America, South America, Australasia and Asia. Since returning I've written for a number of publications and organisations, including Time Out London, Food and Travel Magazine, Big Hospitality, London Belongs To Me, Chic Retreats, Foodepedia, Cool Places, Cool Camping, and Le Cool London. I’ve also created AI-based and corporate content on behalf of LearnJam. Please get in touch for samples of my work.
I have a big interest in food, cooking, and travel. I love finding new restaurants and returning to old favourites, and I also enjoy listening to podcasts – particularly food-related ones such as Off Menu and Out to Lunch with Jay Rayner, and crime-focused ones like Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door. My current cookbooks of choice are Ottolenghi’s Simple and Sabrina Ghayour's Persiana. The last place I holidayed was Cornwall, and at the start of the year I visited Amsterdam, Florence, and Copenhagen.

I researched and wrote on-brand profiles for new hotel sign ups, including curating images. I fact-checked, edited, proofread and updated the content of existing entries using an extranet, created stylish and innovative newsletters using ActiveCampaign, wrote relevant SEO-friendly blog posts using WordPress, and used Zoho CRM to manage new properties. I advised the social media manager, and in doing so contributed to a 33% increase in Instagram followers over the space of eight months. All tasks aimed to boost website views, increase exposure, and attract customers and clients.
