About

I am a professional writer and editor with over 10 years’ experience crafting technical, business and academic documents in engineering, mining, and tertiary education. I excel at translating complex jargon into clear, plain English so readers can understand and act on the information.

My current work focuses on website editing and maintenance as well as audio editing, and I enjoy combining strong editorial discipline with practical, user-friendly communication.
