About me

Currently working as a Junior editor (copy) for one of the top 10 accountancy firms in the UK. My role includes but is not limited to, writing copy for internal and external communications, updating the CMS with new articles, proofreading external comms, web articles, brochures, managing the production of magazines and brochures for external distribution and loading with stakeholders and internal graphic design teams. I really like the written and digital side of my role and during Covid lockdowns, I also gained a professional level 6 diploma in digital marketing from the IDM with credit, whilst working full time.

A bit of my background up to this point: I am initially trained as teacher, however I quickly fell out of love with this career path during my training, but continued with my degree, determined to progress to a Masters level degree in English - which I achieved and passed with Merit. English is an ongoing passion since GCSE - I've always been creative in both art and writing; I took a creative writing module in particular and I've kept art and crafts as a hobby.
While continuing this, I had the intention of looking for a new career path along the way. Copywriting seemed ideal, being heavily creative and English Language based, and in a way links with my previous teacher training, for instance: you have to keep your lesson content creative as a teacher otherwise you'll lose your target audience, i.e. your whole classroom. However, although I enjoyed this aspect of teaching, I wanted to put more focus on my own creative side and use it more corporately, due to loving a bid writing internship I completed over the summer.
My Internship was based in Canary Wharf and the role was heavily based around my writing skills and I loved the business world and the fast-paced lifestyle it had to offer. From this experience I realized I was attracted to to the idea of promoting products, services and brands. I found when working in London that I received satisfaction when seeing the effects of a successful project, which then motivated me more and further put me off the teaching career path.
Within the corporate sector I enjoy helping to raise the profile of a business, through targeted strategies, and is something I'm thoroughly inspired by. I like being part of a collaborative team which finds new ways to reach target audiences. I enjoy a challenging environment and the aspects of discussing intuitive promotional ideas and making sure campaigns run smoothly.
I have fantastic attention to detail regarding grammar and spelling skills, I consistently show a positive attitude towards work and I'm always looking to progress through learning new skills.
