I have 30 years' experience in the communications field and now work as an English writer, editor, workshop leader, and as a resource centre manager at one of South Africa's top private schools. I have worked for corporates, non-profit organisations, universities, schools and individuals. The range of work I do covers writing and editing content for corporate publications, editing memoirs and novels for publishers, writing and editing for local government, editing university post-graduate theses and dissertations, as well as writing, editing and producing the top-quality school year book. I have worked with university students, and now work with the high-school students , teaching them how to write effective research assignments and how to become ethical digital citizens. I have helped develop a a large sustainability action research project focusing on the SDGs for grade 9 students. I work quickly, meticulously, to the highest standards, and always to deadline.

I manage the resource centre for one of South Africa's top private boys' schools, a job which now includes far more than being a librarian. I teach boys how to develop research and writing skills, how to become ethical digital citizens and how to become competent in 21st century skills, including communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.
