Traveller. Investigator. Writer. Editor.
Four words that describe who I am. A seasoned traveller with a love of learning about new places, people and cultures. I take those experiences and distil them into words.
I was also a police investigator for many years, where I needed to both look and see. I have an eye for the small details. I make sure my words say what I mean in a way that makes them accessible to more people.
I’m relaxed and approachable. I crave to make the written words of myself and others the best they can be.
Traveller. Investigator. Writer. Editor.
This is who I am.
