Available to hire
I’m a UK-based, SEO-focused writer and editor with three decades of experience at major international news and media outlets. I craft news, blogs and marketing-support content that blends accuracy with engaging storytelling, delivering clear copy on deadline.
I turn complex industry data into plain English, adapt tone to different voice profiles (Bloomberg, AFP, The Guardian) and lead editorial teams both remotely and on-site, across fintech, ESG and risk-transfer domains.
