What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in education publishing or curriculum development where I can lead content QA, mentor teams, and build curriculum-aligned learning products.

I am an education publishing professional with over 16 years' experience across editorial, QA, curriculum development and team leadership. I have led content and digital product quality for major publishers and schools, developed curriculum aligned to national and international frameworks, and delivered training and process improvements that ensure high-quality learning assets.

As a managing editor and QA manager I have built and mentored teams, set up workflows, conducted market and curriculum research, and overseen end-to-end product delivery for print and digital projects. I take pride in rigorous quality assurance, stakeholder collaboration, and developing foundational-stage programmes aligned to NCF-FS and NEP guidance.
