About:

Over 20 years’ experience

Delivering high-quality editing and rewriting for individuals and organizations. As a commissioning editor I’ve worked with academics, governments, business and civil society worldwide.

Flexible and versatile

From public policy to critical social science, humanities and the arts, I have the creative drive and imagination to grasp new material and make it accessible - whether it’s a PhD-to-book project, conferencing publication or shorter piece.

Diversity and gender aware

I have coached and advised women and men from all walks of life in their writing practice, from junior to senior levels. I’m committed to my own CPD and to inclusive learning - qualifying as a tertiary-level education practitioner in 2025 (Postgraduate Certificate in Post-Compulsory Education and Training).

Interdisciplinary breadth 

I have also studied law and attended conferences and seminars across the social sciences. My first degree was in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford, where I was awarded a Michel Scholarship (1998), the Gibbs Prize (1998) and the Ives Prize (2000).

Higher Education experience

I have taught at London South Bank University (as an associate lecturer, Faculty of Health and Social Care). I have also been involved with the University of Oxford Medical School and Oxford Brookes (values-based recruitment, public engagement and curriculum development). Additionally, I have teaching and assessment experience in Further Education - British and French systems.

Global outlook

I began my career at the United Nations (London press office, UNIC) and the Commonwealth of Nations. I regularly edit development thinking from the US and Canada; Europe; Africa; Asia; the Pacific; and Latin America and the Caribbean.
