With over 15 years' experience as a journalist, editor, and copywriter, I have developed a clear and engaging writing style, an impeccable eye for detail, and thorough research and interviewing skills. And I never use AI - ever. Indeed, I am increasingly working with projects focused on protecting and generating human content. I write and edit across sectors, although my primary experience is in finance and investment, with specialisms in fintech, financial markets and investment funds analysis, digital assets, and sustainable finance. Additionally, I have over 6 years' experience as a public relations and communications consultant turning founders into thought leaders through ghostwritten content and organic media relations. In 2025, my boutique PR and communications firm was named among the world’s top agencies by the Symbol Awards in 2025 for delivering industry-leading results for our fintech clients. This combined experience makes me an adaptable and highly efficient storyteller – a skill that ensures my clients get their point across clearly, reach target audiences, and become thought leaders in their industries. I am used to independent work and need little instruction to start and complete a task or project. Equally, however, I enjoy working collaboratively within a team to get the job done. With a strong focus on delivering results, I am driven and motivated while understanding the importance of flexibility in getting the best result. I look forward to working with you and contributing to your success.

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.
