Hi, I'm Heather Bowen. For the past five years I have worked as an English teacher in Spain, and I also work as a voice over artist with Chilli FM and Almeria Radio. I also do proofreading and writing for pharmaceutical Business English courses, and I create dialogues using AI voices. I also work with a mental health training company proofreading and writing training programmes. I'm a singer-songwriter and I'm releasing a record with Andy Wickett, the original lead singer of Duran Duran who wrote 'Girls on Film'. Previously, I spent twelve years as an Occupational Therapist within the UK's National Health Service, and I hold degrees in Business Administration and Occupational Therapy. I am passionate about education, language learning, and the arts, and I enjoy collaborating across media and health to create accessible learning and support resources.
