About
Editorial judgement is my core strength: selecting the stories that matter, identifying the strongest angle, shaping the narrative, sharpening the headline and ensuring the finished piece earns its place in the publication. I bring 25+ years across newspapers, magazines, scientific and technical publishing and digital media, with experience spanning politics/public affairs, health, life sciences, pharma, agriculture, food technology, entertainment and general-interest content.
