I’m a British-born copywriter with over twenty-five years of advertising experience in Europe and the U.S. Prior to my writing career, I worked as a nurse and gained an honors degree in Classical Civilization and Sociology from Trinity College Dublin. My meandering life path has given me a treasure trove of knowledge and experience that I dip into for inspiration, ideas and my unique brand of creativity.
