About

I am a good writer. At university I took English and History (honours) as majors. As a computer programmer I was happy to write documentation and received good feedback for it.

I have had a short story published in Halfandone magazine. I had a short story published in my school magazine, too.

I have been the editor of two newsletters as a volunteer and improved both publications significantly.

Teaching English as a Second Language is something else I have done as a volunteer. I am professionally qualified as a Teacher of English as a Second Language (TESOL).

Another professional qualification I have is as a software tester. I have a certificate from ISTQB (International Software Tester Qualifications Board).

I worked as a computer programmer for twenty years, and so am computer-literate.
