Featured
I am a modern languages graduate (French and Italian), with professional qualifications in law and project management. Before going freelance, I was a manager in the public sector for over twenty years, with varying roles including training instructor, project manager, consultation manager and business analyst, all of which involved writing, editing and proofreading written communication of all kinds to a high level of accuracy. I am experienced in handling a variety of legal texts as well as training and business material. Whilst working in the education sector, I authored and edited a range of material for leaders in schools. Freelance projects include books on law, management and Italian literature; academic papers; journals; newsletters; and websites.
