In the past, I have worked in primary schools marketing, including blog writing, social media content creation and creating web copy. My creative writing work has been published in a number of locations.
I also worked for several years as a content editor and development editor in ELT publishing, creating English language schools’ content for a range of international markets and mediums, including digital first products.
As well as this, I have worked as a publications editor for a large medical regulator, as part of which I produced extended reports and other marketing content.
I also have worked on a number of different editorial and written projects outside of my career.
