About me

Hello! Welcome to my page.
I'm a highly experienced and versatile writer/editor/content producer working in print journalism and digital writing, editing and content strategy. I am obsessed with words and telling engaging stories while leaving the reader better informed, whether it's for editorial or native content.

Over my career, I have written about everything ranging from travel and banking to pet nutrition. But my specialist 'beat' is health, wellness and beauty - with a skincare, dermatological and aesthetic treatment specialisation. My particular passion is about educating people on healthy mind and body ageing.
I am based in South Africa, and I write in both US and UK English for my clients, who are based in USA, Ireland, France, Germany and Singapore, as well as South Africa.
