How does a qualified scientist end up as a freelance writer and editor? The twist in my career is explained by this simple fact: I fell in love with words. Words sweep people away on journeys to discover new worlds. They forge ideas, foster relationships and found empires. In the right hands, words are infinitely powerful. As a writer, editor, science communicator and children's author, I am skilled at employing words to suit my purposes. If you have an audience that needs to hear something, I can help you bring your message to life in the following ways: • As an experienced instructional designer, I build bespoke, hands-on e-learning solutions for coaches and small businesses. • Content should be easy to digest, and this happens when developmental and line editing are done correctly. I can edit just about any topic from informal blogs to academic papers, including books. • As a science communicator, I have experience in content creation for websites, blogs, fact sheets, brochures, posters, and infographics for a wide array of topics. I've worked for government agencies, academic institutions, and other organizations worldwide. • I love creating content for children! I have years of experience writing educational articles for children's magazines, and I write and publish fiction for children. I am looking forward to new challenges and will gladly walk with you as we develop your writing project and shape it into a sharp, professional product.

I am passionate about writing captivating content on a variety of topics. I specialise in .fiction and non-fictional stories for children. I take great pride in my writing and ability to create vibrant and exciting characters children enjoy reading about. I love breathing real life into historical characters through writing biographies that educate and interest their readers. My teaching background enables me to write stories at the appropriate level of understanding for young and middle school readers as well as the young adult age group. In addition to writing children's stories I have written parenting and family guidance books and articles for various educational publications and web sites. I believe I am a writer with the ability to work closely with clients interested in reliable collaboration and imaginative story telling.

I'm a writer. I most enjoy writing and illustrating children's books, but I also have an adult brain that won't switch off. I'm constantly critiquing copy and seeing ways it could be improved. There's a special satisfaction in seeing my words influence people's perceptions and choices.

Words and Ideas can change the world. A powerful sentence can stir you to your depths, and resonate inside your head-space for years. I aim to write what inspires, guides and enlightens people. The pieces I've enjoyed writing most are focused on personal development, psychology and esoteric wisdom. The 5 star reviews from some of the inspiring people I've worked with here on Upwork point to one thing: I love what I do, and it shows.
