About

I’m an editor and writer with 13 years’ experience making text clear, sharp and concise. I simplify complicated concepts to ensure your message and arguments are coherent, and that the writing flows. Having trained and worked as a journalist, I’m used to researching and writing on new subjects with little notice. I’m thoughtful and analytical, and that’s the approach I’ll apply to any topic. That said, much of my recent work has been in the economics, mining and commodities sectors. Contact me to see how we can work together. I look forward to hearing from you.
