About
I’m a publisher, editor and author with more than 20 years of experience developing products and content for a wide range of markets. I’m also a nutritionist, registered with the Association for Nutrition, the only register of qualified nutritionists recognised by the UK Health Security Agency and the NHS.
My reputation is built on delivering innovative products, dynamic content, effective project management and a willingness to pull out the stops – all delivered with a genuine passion and good humour.
I built my career in London working for leading global publishing houses, writing and editing books across all genres, from picture books and fiction to novelty, non-fiction and gifting. I went on to manage publishing programmes and the portfolios of best-selling authors, artists and top entertainment brands.
Since qualifying as a nutritionist, I have extended my portfolio to create food, nutrition, health and wellbeing content and communications for private businesses and third-sector organisations.
By combining compelling content with storytelling, I help boost brand trust and engagement, establishing a distinctive brand personality through tone, visuals and style. My unique blend of skills supports business growth through credible messaging, health-aligned product development, customer education and building brand authority. A values-driven, creative thinker, I excel in partnership collaboration and championing new projects and campaigns.
I am based in Bath and would welcome the opportunity to help you produce content or products that really hit the mark.
