My very first job was as a copywriter – and it is a role I still hold today. For almost 10 years, I worked at communications consultancies in both South Africa and Canada and, at the beginning of 2017, started my venture as a self-employed writer.
Over the course of my career, I have written prolifically for clients across a range of industries, from those operating in non-governmental, education and tourism space to others working in the financial services and resources sectors. I am fortunate to count among my clients entrepreneurs, small businesses, schools and universities, production houses, local and multinational non-governmental organisations, and large corporates.
My work includes the copywriting of websites, blogs and newsletters, as well as the research and writing of a variety of reports. I also write voice-over scripts, as well as human interest and opinion pieces that have been featured in a variety of publications, including the Daily Maverick and the Mail & Guardian.
A recipient of the Patrick and Margaret Flanagan Scholarship, I hold a Master of Arts degree in English Literature (cum laude) from the University of York in the United Kingdom, and an undergraduate degree in English Literature and Anthropology (cum laude) from Rhodes University in South Africa.
The selection of writing samples below offers offer a glimpse into the diverse range of content I have written – and continue to write – for an equally diverse range of clients.
