I write and edit content for SEO work, do developmental edits for fiction and non-fiction ebooks, memoirs, blog content, and product manuals, and I regularly write stories for the non-profit organisation, Library For All, and Save the Children. I have written for Tim Harris’ Primary Writer’s Project and Youkie kids' magazine. I was recently thrilled to write a Christmas story for the Miffy franchise, and I have helped many authors bring their stories to life. Presently, I have been successful in authoring the following titles: 'Bubbles and Puddles" "Ella and Star" I'm more than happy to collaborate and help my clients take their projects to the next level and learn along the way.

I've been working as an English language teacher for over 20 years. I've had 8 novels, 3 short story collections, and over 100 short stories published, as well as an unscientific and superficial zoological memoir, I Used to be an Animal Lover. As a freelance writer I've racked up over 100K words, ghostwriting children's books, a romance novella, a book on animal bereavement, and one about musician activists, plus countless content pieces for various clients. I am also an experienced and confident public speaker with a particular interest in writing, and men's sexual health and relationships issues.

I’m a qualified primary school teacher with 10+ years of experience, now working as a homeschool educator and content creator. I specialise in creating and refining engaging, curriculum-aligned literacy resources that feel natural, clear, and effective for real learners. I’ve worked extensively with Years 3–6 and understand how to balance Australian Curriculum outcomes with content that actually holds a child’s attention. My approach focuses on simplifying concepts, improving flow, and designing activities that build confidence—not overwhelm. What I bring to your project: • Strong experience in English and literacy education • Clear, engaging content writing and editing • Creative activity design that supports comprehension and skill development • Canva design skills for clean, visually supportive layouts • Experience using AI tools (LLMs) to enhance and refine educational content • Attention to detail with formatting, including LaTeX where required As a homeschool mum of five, I also bring a real-world lens—creating resources that work across different learning styles, including children who need more flexibility, movement, or support. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely passionate about creating high-quality educational materials that make a difference.
