248481_10151346552055980_1030416499_nWords, glorious words. If I could feast on them, I would; unfortunately, this isn’t an option, so I choose to make a living out of them instead.

I am a journalist, editor and copywriter who has been writing professionally for more than a decade and non-professionally ever since I learnt how to use a pencil (remember those?).

After gaining extensive experience working as an entertainment reviewer for BBC Lincolnshire in the UK, I headed to Dubai in 2007 to work for the bestselling English daily, Gulf News, as a features writer. Following this, I worked for one of the UAE’s leading developers as a copywriter/editor, where I learnt to write everything from CEO speeches to video scripts. In other words, I completed my writer’s skill set.

In 2017, I started working for Montreal-headquartered GSM Project at their MENA office. As the company’s senior editor, I am responsible for editing the content for four new museums that form part of the prestigious Shindagha Museums project in Dubai, as well as other prominent exhibitions in the region. A major part of this role involves managing the process from the conception of an exhibition’s copywriting guidelines, through to content creation.

I have covered every subject imaginable throughout my career, however, my specialist subjects are lifestyle, travel, mental health and food. I also have a penchant for psychology-based features, due to my degree in the subject, and I have written extensively on topics ranging from introversion and personality disorders to parenting.
