I’m Alan Fisher, a Brighton-based professional with a Master’s degree in War History & Politics and a BA (Hons) in Critical History. My academic training has honed my ability to interrogate primary and secondary sources, identify credible interpretations, and present clear findings to peers and lecturers under deadline-driven conditions. Professionally, I manage inventory and coordinate stock migration and allocation across fast-paced environments, thriving on problem-solving and delivering results on time. Beyond logistics, I’m an active writer and editor. I published the self-published novel Sink or Swim in 2018 under the pen name Alan Strickland, and I’m currently co-writing a non-fiction history/international affairs manuscript. I’ve also curated and contributed to a Brighton Fringe art exhibition, refined proofreading and editing skills, and gained exposure to AI training, evaluating material and shaping responses to improve accuracy and usefulness.
