Bio

My first career was English teaching and I have always loved to read and write. After about 25 years as a textile conservator and teacher, a sea change returned me to language. Having worked in institutions, served on executive committees and successfully run my own business, my work approach is business-like yet flexible, and I am a good communicator.

 

Through my teaching and writing of many published articles, I have gained much experience in academic and technical writing. Not only can I be precise, but creative and lyrical as well. My reading comprehension is very good, writing and research skills strong. Translation fits nicely.

 

Although specialised in the visual arts and cultural heritage fields, my range is broader: general, tourism, food & cooking, well-being, nutrition, and sustainability.


My personal interests centre on nature and culture, and their preservation in these challenging times. Gardening and cooking for a table full of friends are my main joys.
