I'm a copywriter and content writer with 3+ years of experience in fundraising, social media marketing and email campaigns. I have media training through a master's degree in broadcast journalism and a first-class bachelor's degree in linguistics and social anthropology. I've written for big organisations like Oxfam, the NSPCC, Shelter, YMCA, ACCA, CIPD and Crisis - turning big ideas into engaging content across digital ads, legacy appeals and social media. Alongside my journalism background, this has given me an acute knack for telling a great story. Based in London, I bring a global perspective with my American roots and intermediate French and German skills. If you want words that connect and inspire action, let’s discuss.

I am a news writer, editor and journalist with around 15 years of experience. I have an MA in Journalism and published work in a variety of United Kingdom publications. With me, you needn't worry about copyright and libel issues or getting punished by the search engines. You get original work which complies with media laws. Communication: I count on good communication with the client - from his expectations to initial plans and vision about his/her particular project. Let me know exactly what you want - even to the degree of 'how' you want it written. Although, I have to make a note that self-expression is very important to me and hope to be able to reach to a mutual solution with the client but not at the expense of the quality of the finished product. Deadlines:If there are deadlines, we can work according to that, but the process I have observed to produce the highest quality with me, is usually time-consuming (3 days for a very well researched and nicely written 1500 word article, for example). I've also found 1000 words per day is just about the border beyond which I start to sputter out nonsense - 50% of the time. Thank you for reading my profile.

I’m a freelance writer with three years’ experience specialising in the climate sector. As a result, I have a deep knowledge of the science, policy, and financial landscape surrounding the energy transition. I’ve worked with over 20 startups, nonprofits, and consultancies, delivering authoritative content and thought leadership aimed at general audiences, industry leaders, and policymakers. With a background in journalism (reporting for Reuters among others), I’m confident interviewing stakeholders at all levels. I write with accuracy and rigour, and can perform in-depth research. My strength is finding the key messages that will resonate with an audience, and communicating them in a clear and impactful way, without losing nuance.
