What I'm looking for

I'm looking to develop accurate, accessible STEM and technical content while collaborating with subject-matter experts and multidisciplinary teams. I value roles where I can apply editorial quality assurance, technical communication, research and AI-assisted workflows.

At Springer Nature – Macmillan Education (College Press Publishers), I managed the editorial development and quality assurance of Mathematics, Science, ICT and technical publications from manuscript through production.

I edit complex scientific and technical content for accuracy, clarity, consistency and accessibility, working closely with authors, subject-matter experts, designers and publishing teams. I use structured quality-control processes, tracked changes, document review tools and AI-assisted editorial workflows to improve content and production efficiency.

Alongside publishing, I've taught Mathematics, Chemistry and Computer Science, led a robotics club, and supported students through career guidance. My engineering background includes industrial equipment commissioning at David Whitehead Textiles and telecommunications maintenance exposure at ZETDC Telecoms.

I'm an Electronic Engineering graduate who enjoys making technical information reliable, understandable and useful for learners and readers.
