What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my writing skills in dynamic environments, ideally within creative teams that value originality and timely delivery.

I am a highly creative and versatile freelance writer with over ten years of experience as a writer and producer for the BBC. My expertise spans various writing genres, including politics, business, travel, health, and science. I have a proven track record of delivering lively, original, and content-rich work with a fast turnaround, ensuring that I never miss a deadline.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients across the UK, USA, Australia, Spain, and Canada, writing and ghostwriting books, articles, websites, newsletters, and speeches. My experience at the BBC has equipped me with the skills to design and implement multi-platform strategies for collaborative science broadcasting projects, as well as producing daily news programmes for children. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to write in any style for both print and web.
