Before I started retraining as a professional editor, I had a varied administrative career.
I am a qualified accounting technician, and I have
business experience at directorship level, so I am very familiar with the vocabulary of finance.
I’ve worked in professional and academic sports environments, in administration and management roles, for twenty years. Working in these, sometimes high-pressured, businesses has made me adept at producing high-quality work to extremely tight deadlines.
I’ve spent ten years working as an interviewer for the National Centre for Social Research, one of the UK’s largest social research institutions.
My favourite fiction genres to read are crime and police procedurals, fantasy and sci-fi, and steampunk (which sort of combines them all).
I also have a passion for food writing (from quite an early age, my preferred bedtime reading was cookbooks).
My specialist editing areas are fiction and food writing.
