My magazine by-lines include Countryfile, Country Walking, Bird Watching, The Simple Things and The Pilgrim. I enjoy writing features on birds, beachcombing and butterflies. I most frequently write about The Outer Hebrides and Hertfordshire. Awards for my writing include Runner-Up in BBC Countryfile New Nature Writer of the Year 2022. I am able to provide photographs to support my work.

After two decades running professional development workshops for a FTSE 100 company delivering training courses around the world, I have designed several friendly and informal nature writing sessions. Partner organisations include RSPB, Species on the Edge, Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival, Books On The Hill and Emerald Publishing.

Having spent over twenty years working for Pearson in Schools and Higher Education publishing, along with a role as Vice President for Pearson Edexcel exam board in the UK, I have consulted on the new GCSE in Natural History and created a guide for the Sustainability and Climate Change themed Extended Project Qualification, ‘Getting Started in Nature Writing’.

I have partnered with dozens of women at all ages and stages of their careers as part of the 30% Club and 50 Foot Women mentoring programmes. I am now helping people to begin their own writing journeys, having been a mentor on the Masters of Nature & Travel Writing degree course at Bath Spa University and volunteering my time for A Focus On Nature.
