Professional and versatile thinker, writer, and adviser
I'm well-versed in writing clearly, engagingly and succinctly on complex issues for public, political or expert audiences. I particularly welcome subjects with links to science, strategic thinking, sustainable development or health.
My experience of creative, academic, press and corporate writing styles includes:
– Current affairs, geopolitics and other news articles
– Science fiction and thriller ghostwriting - novels and shorter stories
– Research analysis
– Policy briefing notes and speeches
– Business plans and impact reporting
– Programme and project management documents, including resource bids
– Annual reports, including sustainability, diversity and human rights
– Academic research, literature reviews and reporting at MSc level, especially psychology and social sciences
– Web, blog and general SEO writing (SurferSEO, Frase and others)
Overall, I have an 18+ year positive track record of international strategy and agenda setting, intelligent staff and corporate network management, and global issues policy development. My previous career was in foreign policy with particular focus on climate change, clean energy, global health and broader sustainable development.
Holding C2-level qualifications in German and having a similar level of French (and Turkish) I can also provide fast, high quality reading and translation of materials from French and German into English, including MTPE and quality assurance tasks.
I hold an undergraduate degree and two masters-level qualifications in science and social science subjects, along with MOOC certificates in areas of personal interest (e.g. fundamentals of neuroscience).
