Over more than twenty years working with the government and the private sectors, I have managed annual reports, drafted strategic and corporate plans, designed communications strategies, developed agency style guides and taught effective communication. Contact me for professional support – from planning and drafting to copyediting and layout – for publications that comply with style requirements, Plain English guidelines and accessibility standards.
