I’m a native English tutor and writer who relocated to Stockholm, Sweden, with my young family and laptop. Working in communications and as a writer is a luxury, and each day is different. You learn more about your craft and subjects new to you. If you’re curious, as I am, it’s a fascinating career.

Recent developments in AI have shown that we can create and innovate in previously unknown ways. These advancements include highly specialized English coaching and targeted content generation, leveraging our enhanced abilities to research and produce fresh ideas.

On this site, you will find examples of my work along with details of my professional experience. Please feel free to reach out to discuss potential collaborations.
