Personal statement
As a writer and editor, I enjoy working with material on a wide range of subjects, in diverse forms. My creative writing centres on poetry, and often reflects my interest in history, place, and ‘what importance tramples underfoot’.
I find project management satisfying in all its phases, and particularly enjoy working on projects that aim to empower people and support them in reaching their full potential.
