What I'm looking for

I am seeking editorial or submissions roles where I can apply my editing, submission coordination and stakeholder-management skills to produce high-quality, accurate content, contribute to process improvement, and work within collaborative, deadline-driven teams.

I am a passionate editor with more than seven years' experience in copy editing, proofreading and content development, with demonstrated ability to turn complex technical and financial material into clear, persuasive copy. I have led end-to-end submission and editorial processes, developed templates and bid libraries, and improved submission and compliance workflows to raise quality and success rates.

I combine strong research, fact-checking and stakeholder-management skills with exceptional attention to detail and organisation, delivering on tight deadlines across publishing, investment research and construction tendering. I hold a Master of Publishing and Editing and relevant industry certifications, and I consistently produce accurate, audience-focused content that supports commercial objectives.
