about

ABOUT

I am a communications expert specializing in writing and editing with a clear and engaging written voice.

Born and raised in the UK, I have lived on Vancouver Island since 2009.

​

I have over 13 years’ experience in the communications field, primarily in non-profit or publicly funded service organizations in both countries.

​

Writing and reading are my passions and I am that person who points out grammatical errors on shop signs, menus and in books.

​

I am excited to use my passion for clear, interesting and engaging written words to support local businesses, non-profit organizations and individuals to successfully share their stories and grow their business.
