Beyond the words

I’ve been writing copy and content for brands for over a decade. But I don’t spend my life sitting at a screen – here’s a little insight into the person behind the keyboard.

  • From growing up in the rainy Lake District to working in London, Bristol and Cornwall, I’ve lived all over the UK. I don’t know where I’ll end up next, but the beauty of my job is that I can write for you anywhere – whether you’re across county lines or continents.

  • One of my earliest memories is typing a story that began with ‘Once upon a time…’ at my Mum’s computer – back when they were big grey boxes. Some might say that the writing was on the wall…

  • Party trick? It’s got to be lipreading. Okay, I’m profoundly deaf and wear hearing aids so I do rely on it, but here’s the rub – it means I really understand the importance of clear communication.

  • My guilty writing pleasure is painting a picture with words - there’s nothing like evocative imagery that captures your emotions and transports you to a different place or time.

  • When I’m not working my little socks off for you, you’ll find me outdoors with my husband, kids and dog in tow. Bonus points if we end up at a pub.

  • I love fitness and have been known to partake in in team Crossfit competitions. Other than that, I run (slowly), ski (fast) and ride my road bike when I get a chance.

  • I have a passion for beautifully styled interiors and unexpected, joy-inducing spaces. You can often find me advising friends and family on everything from paint colours to upholstery swatches.

  • I’m a total vinophile, and once even cried at a wine tasting. In my defence, my son had been depriving me of grape juice for 9. Whole. Months. If I wasn’t a copywriter, I reckon I’d have been a vintner or a sommelier.

  • Some of my most treasured memories are in South Africa, travelling The Garden Route with my family, filling sun-soaked days with hiking trails, good food and even better wine.

  • You can always win me over with a flat white and an almond croissant.
