Hello. I’m a freelance web content writer and editor. I create concise, accessible copy in plain English. Nice to meet you.

About me

I’ve worked in communications since 2003, both in agencies and in-house, and I’ve been freelancing as a web copywriter since 2008.

I’m currently based on the Spanish island of Mallorca (Majorca). From here, I work remotely and very successfully with my clients via email, Skype and old-fashioned telephone calls.

Experience

I managed and maintained the corporate website of engineering giant Balfour Beatty for three years. As part of the corporate communications team, I also worked on corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate identity, internal communications, investor relations (IR) and publications.

Combined with my prior public relations (PR) experience in Edelman’s technology team, I’ve gained a good understanding of the role of an online presence within a wider communications strategy.

Membership and training

I’m a member of 26, an association for writers, editors and language consultants.

  • August 2010 – present: Freelance feature and travel writing, London School of Journalism (LSJ)
  • June 2007: Creating and improving e-newsletters
  • July 2006: Introduction to editing corporate magazines and newspapers

Education

Personal

I have lots of interests, ranging from sport and drawing to photography and languages. (I have an intermediate level of Spanish and am working on my German.)

Environmental issues are important to me. I’m involved in our local Friends of the Earth group (Amics de la Terra), both as a member and volunteer.

I live with my partner, Chris, and our two rescue dogs, Sombra and Fosca. Do you want to know more? Well, here’s my life story…
