With over 25 years' experience as a freelance journalist and editor, I have worked for a diverse range of print and online media, writing features and copy, in addition to editing, sub-editing and proofreading.

Specialising in health, I am a long-term member of the Guild of Health Writers, and am also a nutritionist and a yoga teacher.

I am part of the team of writers at Barking Dog Media, and have also worked for Golf News, Golf Punk, Sorted and Cosmopolitan, and on websites such as qc.com and kitesurfbeaches.com.

In addition to my journalism work, I am a published author and have written two novels and many short stories and poems. I won an award for my short story, 'Holey Stones', which was broadcast on BBC radio as well as published in print, and I have contributed to the women's literary magazine Mslexia.
