A native English speaker with a degree in English from the University of London and a background in Classics I have an excellent understanding of grammar and punctuation. A qualified accountant, aromatherapist and hypnotherapist, I am an extremely versatile individual and writer. I have written, proof-read and edited a vast array of corporate reports (budget management, bid proposals and appraisals) and have published articles on subjects as diverse as financial management in local government and essential oil alternatives to anti-perspirants. I have also had sports reports and poems published and am the author of Diversity in Diction - Equality in Action, the TUC guide to appropriate language.
