I am a marketing minded communications professional with a wide range of expertise. As a
pharmaceutical copywriter I have worked inside big pharma, written and done research for
communications companies and have been successful as a freelance writer, working
independently and with teams on projects that range in complexity from highly scientific peer-
reviewed publications to direct to consumer promotional materials. More recently I trained as a
travel advisor and have created travel-related copy including digital media, websites and
brochures for my own company and others in the travel industry. I possess excellent writing and
oral communications skills and am a team player with a keen eye for detail and enthusiasm for
all things travel related. My focus has been on luxury travel including soft adventure and cultural
experiences.
