Hi there,
I'm Rebecca - an extrovert with a passion for all things written.
My career began a decade ago, when I took the helm of my university's student newspaper, Looprevil Press, alongside my role as Women's Delegate for LJMU Students' Union.
Always encouraged to pursue a career in law, I instead found myself rapidly falling in love with journalism and writing. Following graduation, I applied for and secured the NCTJ Journalism Diversity Fund, which allowed me to complete my Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism.
​
Fast forward to 2014 and I decided to move to Dubai, where I was able to secure a role with the region's leading female- and family-focused expatriate website, ExpatWoman.
​
Over the course of six years, I was able to develop my skills and passion for the written word, which led me to secure positions as both Group Editor, and later Head of Content. After a short career break to navigate motherhood, I am now Commercial Content Editor at the UK's best known parenting website, Mumsnet, bringing industry-leading content from popular brands that aims to make parents' lives easier. Additionally, I'm a freelance copyeditor, proofreader and writer, working with companies like Valtech to ensure their copy is always impeccable.
WHO I AM
Ever since the day I marched through the city of Liverpool as Women's Delegate advocating for women's rights, my writing has been entirely dedicated to women. So it suits me entirely to have lead a wholly female team for the #1 website for expatriate women in the UAE, and these days, work for arguably the most recognisable website designed for mothers and parents in the UK.
​
My career to date has provided me opportunity to work closely with brands who are equally as passionate about all things female-focused, including some of best health, education, and wellness companies. It is thanks to this experience that I wish to continue to focus on working with businesses that care about women - their livelihoods, their careers, their families, and their interests.
​
As a freelancer, my expertise lies in writing, editing, and copy-writing, however I am also available to work with you closely to consult on your overall content marketing and social media strategies, alongside creating SEO-friendly, value-filled content that is specifically designed for your brand to help you reach a female audience.

PEOPLE DESCRIBE ME AS
ADAPTABLE / COMMUNICATIVE / VERSATILE / EXPRESSIVE / SOCIABLE / THOUGHTFUL / HARD-WORKING / RESPONSIBLE / AMBITIOUS
on a personal level
I'm a lass who hails from Leeds, so admittedly, I do have to remind myself not to talk too fast. When I'm not at my desk, you'll most likely find me navigating parenthood with my husband, buried in the latest domestic noir release, yearning to play the piano, indulging my inner nerd with video games, or obsessing over my Maltese who rules the roost.
