Write | Edit | Coach ⁓ I work with aspiring writers, authors, businesses & professionals to create content that connects. Human to Human. *Book Nerd. *Chip Addict. *Coffee Lover.

𝑀𝓎 𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎 📖
My love for reading led to my passion for words and language. I studied English Lit, Linguistics, and Education, which sparked my early career as an English Language Specialist. This involved teaching and designing learning materials for ESL, EFL, and English 1st Language students in Higher Education (HE).

I later lectured in Management Communication and other Business subjects, advocating real-life teaching, transferable skills, and lifelong learning. 

Progress in my career led to course and curriculum development projects in HE, culminating in educational management. I enjoyed the challenges and problem-solving aspects of academic leadership, managing and mentoring a diverse group of lecturers across varied disciplines.

Then I took a long break to be a stay-at-home mum — my kids needed a chauffeur. During this time, I indulged my love of reading, research, and writing by creating content for textbooks as a freelancer. I 𝐜𝐨-𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 for Macmillan, Oxford, Heinemann, Pearson & Juta. 

I confess I enjoyed the multi-tasking and the adrenaline rush of meeting deadlines – coffee helped!

My kids have finally flown the coop (Gen Zs, 🙄).
