I believe so strongly in the power of well-crafted words to inspire and enable positive action, that when I’m not helping other people make good things happen, I’m writing my first book.
The content I produce for any project benefits from my writing and editing skills, and former marketing roles in the publishing space.
If you’re a solopreneur or thought leader looking to strengthen your written communication and better connect with your audience, I can help you with planning, polish, and everything in between.
Qualifications in my backpack:
- Diploma in Editing & Publishing, New Zealand Institute of Business Studies
- BA English & Art History, University of Auckland
- BA (Hons) English, University of Canterbury
- Master of Information Studies, Victoria University of Wellington.
