As a writer and editor, I help people achieve their goals through powerful storytelling.
I have a knack for clarity. Words are my thing.
What’s in a name?
To clarify, that’s Miss Word not Miss World. (It seemed a good idea in 2010, ok? I was younger then!) But a memorable name is a good name. And this one has stuck.
I’ve been writing for business for 25+ years. As a business owner for 15+ years, and before that, in various comms jobs in Australia and the UK where I learned to write fast and well. Some fun roles included:
- Chief writer, editor and finance manager, Miss Word (highly recommend)
- Communications advisor, Virgin Australia (shiny red planes)
- Senior media advisor, City of Edinburgh (Hogmanay glamour and garbage trucks)
- Investments writer, Standard Life (turning finance speak into plain English)
- PR consultant, Three Plus (press releases and politicians)
Before that, I studied a Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) and a Graduate Diploma of Business Communications (Public Relations). And before that, I was a kid from Brisbane who entered writing competitions for fun.
I’m really proud to have worked with many of my clients year in, year out, since I started my freelance business. We’ve grown and evolved together. They use words like ‘engaged, seamless and hassle-free’ to describe working with me. Others say ‘you just get me’. Either way, I’m happy because solving problems is what I’m here for.
