A little about me...

I am a writer with a background in the world of editing and news reporting.I appreciate the importance of using clear, concise and accurate language, as well as the ability to communicate complex ideas in a way that can be easily understood by a target audience.I find both journalism and UX writing both require meticulous research and fact-checking skills, as well as the ability to gather and organise information effectively. I was drawn to UX writing as I enjoy the conversational style of the writing and the creative thinking the role offers.I have also helped manage a family-run clay shooting facility for most of my working life, which allowed me the opportunity to create content for my first website.My experiences have taught me to always be clear with messaging and to work hard to understand the needs of customers and build their trust.I love hanging out with my family and friends, travelling, photography, clay target shooting, cooking, live music, trying different foods, snowboarding and football.I take work seriously but not myself.
