About Me

I am a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), formerly the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP), and I adhere to their code of practice.

I have a BA (Hons) in archaeology and environmental management and a Postgraduate Diploma in organic agriculture. I am also a trained breastfeeding peer supporter, and I enjoy cooking and gardening. 

I live in Cwmbran, South Wales, with my husband and son. My husband is from the Netherlands, so I can understand Dutch; within a year of meeting him, I set myself the challenge of reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice in Dutch (Trots en Vooroordeel), and I'm proud to say I did it!

You can find out more about me on my LinkedIn profile, or by reading my blog.
