background
I have had a passion for words, both verbally and in the written word, their origins, and the complexities of the English language since university.
Over many years, I have helped friends and family produce dissertations, presentations, and set up businesses. Helping to create and develop the manuals, contracts, and designing marketing slogans where needed. I decided to turn my passion into a business, passed a professional qualification in Proofreading and Copy Editing, and set up Elderberry Ink-Elderberries were originally used for ink because of their durability– so that is why we are Elderberry Ink!
My background is a degree in the Social Sciences, Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy, in which I attained a 2:1 Honours degree. I left university and went to work in the Finance sector, working for large corporations, and passing various investment and mortgage exams; compliance checking was an essential part of the role. I ran a thriving fitness business before selling it as an ongoing business and taking these skills and qualifications and applying them to teaching in secondary schools.
