About me

As an EU citizen, I would be available to start within 6 weeks (negotiable / immediately if required). My current full-time post is as a writer and corporate trainer with an established NGO in Johannesburg, in the Public Relations Department, the scope of which includes web site content editing, research, report writing and proofreading. As such, I have very strong writing and research skills and have written four fantasy / sword and sorcery novels and have received approbation for these from Electronic Arts and the South African author, Tim Couzens as well as from other sources. I have also written a series of short stories (20 short stories) set in South Africa (Cape Town) and numerous other short stories and book reviews which may be found on the World Wide Web.

I am currently reading courses towards my Bed Hons in Special Needs Education after having graduated with 6 distinctions in the Postgraduate Certificate in Education from North West University. I am also a part time facilitator for North West University where I am employed to assist students reading courses in the P.G.C.E and A.C.E. postgraduate diplomas and in 2008 I will be responsible for facilitating Bed Honours modules in Research, Outcomes-Based Education Methodology and Human Resources modules.

I write articles for Nova et Vetera publications (under the aegis of the Society of Saint Pius X) and have produced history textbooks for home scholars. I am also engaged as an online editor and freelance Ghost-writer. My freelance work also covers appearances as an actor/model/ voice over artist for print, television and Internet media.

I believe that, considering my current post as a full time writer and corporate trainer with a well established education NGO in Johannesburg and my background / experience in proofreading and editing as well as lecturing in human resources (personal development) writing textbooks, training manuals and children's novels, as well as my 16 years experience in teaching at primary, secondary and tertiary level (including lecturing in Human Resources) that I will be a considerable asset in this position.
