About Me
I'm a Work-At-Home Mum raising 2 sons while continuing to offer my editorial services to all and sundry. My home-based operations is in no way a limitation for my capabilities, and I have delivered countless satisfactory results over the past five years while operating in this freelance capacity.
Editorial projects that I've undertaken in the past involved journalism, copywriting and editing skills.
I'm always keen to tell a good story, so strike up a conversation with me anytime and let's work out how I can be of service to you.
