About Me

Image by Mikaela Jade.

As a writer with over 10 years' professional experience, I can help you convey your business' message to your audience in a way that is simple and digestible, while being informative and engaging.

I began my career as a journalist, first as a freelance writer for local magazines while studying for my degree in English, then, after graduating with honours, I became a full-time editorial assistant at a luxury lifestyle magazine, before progressing to content writer, then deputy editor at a national hair and beauty title.

Following this, I decided to take the path to become a full-time freelance writer. Since 2017, I have worked with independent businesses, agencies and influencers to create content that captivates their audiences.

Why employ me and not ChatGPT?

I believe we have a moral obligation to keep a human element to business. Your audience is human, so what better way to connect with them than with a human writer? I can write (good) humour; I can make obscure references to nineties pop culture; I can talk about an experience or product in a way that elicits a visceral response from the reader, allowing them to connect with your brand in a way that can't yet be facilitated by AI.

I'm also a brand geek. This means that, when we work together, I become a fan of your brand. From the ins and outs of your audience, tone, style, genre, to graphic elements such as the use of imagery, typography and colour palette, I commit to understanding your branding just as well as you do. This helps me tailor my writing style to fit your business.

Experience

I have worked with a number of different content management systems in a range of formats. The CMSs I have experience with include Wordpress, Blogger, Webflow and Squarespace. I also have experience with Substack, Mailchimp, Shopify, Podio, Trello, Later, and a range of other platforms. I can also learn new software quickly, and adapt to your business' needs.

I have experience writing B2C as well as B2B, in the sectors of: fashion, beauty, lifestyle, travel, pet care, horticulture, psychology, gynaecology, rheumatology, recruitment and human resources.

I hope we can work together!

Golden Oreo Rice Pudding


Golden Oreos are, to me, a bit like glorified Custard Creams. They just don't have the creamy, chocolately texture of the original Oreo, nor do they look particularly interesting. Unlike regular Oreos, I have to enjoy these with a cup of tea or, like this recipe states, as an addition to a pudding dish. 

Now that we're firmly in the beautiful season of autumn, and winter is just around the corner, a hot and creamy rice pudding is a wonderful thing to indulge in on a cold evening whilst you're on the sofa watching Bake Off (or similar). You can customise a rice pudding any way you like; you can make it healthy(ish) with peaches and honey, or go super chocolately with Nutella, or you can sit somewhere in the middle with cinnamon and maple syrup. This recipe includes the two latter ingredients, but with the addition of Golden Oreos just to make it a little bit more fun.


Ingredients
- 100g pudding rice
- 30g sugar
- 600ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 6 Golden Oreos
- 1 tsp cinnamon


Method

1. Preheat the over to 150C/fan 130C/gas mark 2.

2. Wash the rice and drain.

3. Butter a baking dish. Tip in the rice and sugar and stir in the milk, maple syrup and cinnamon.

5. Cook for 1.5 hours.

6. Take the rice pudding out of the oven. Break the Oreos into pieces and distribute them throughout the pudding.

7. Place in the over for a further half hour.
