I cover home decor, lifestyle and shopping for consumer press and write about HR, L&D, training, education and small business but can turn my hand to any topic. My experience is pretty vast - almost 20 years. I started in a features agency writing for the nationals and women's weeklies including Closer, Best, Bella, Take a Break, Real People, Chat, Reveal, The Sun, The Mirror and The Daily Mail. After a stint editing some business titles, I worked as a content provider for a personal finance website before heading into online publishing.

Here I wrote for Cardmaking & Papercraft, Cross Stitch Crazy, Love Knitting, Craftseller, Love Crochet, Love Baking and pretty much all of their craft titles. I also trained as a sub-editor/production editor and provided freelance cover across many of their titles.
