Skills & Credentials
How I Can Help You
They say to stick to what you know. Well, I know community sport coaching and sport delivery.
I also know what it takes to operate a small business and how to stay on track.
Writing, editing and teaching is my way of offering the benefit of my no-need-to-reinvent-the-wheel experience.
Writer & Editor
Reliable Results using Plain Language
My independent, tireless and reliable organizing transfers perfectly into freelance writing and editing. Like organizing, prioritizing material is key. My knack for distilling information into clear, efficient communications makes it useable for everyone. After all, the point is to grab and keep your reader's attention, right? So, I like to make it easier for them to find what they're looking for, understand it—and act on it if necessary.
It was as if the Plain Language movement was made just for me, as not being one to mince words, saying it like it is, just makes sense.


Facilitator, Developer
Produce and deliver custom workshops.
Deliver certified sport-related courses.
As I said, I know community sport coaching and sport delivery. I know it as much as 40 years' worth of dedicated playing, coaching and learning will afford. I find great pleasure in sharing the benefit of that experience with new and developing coaches.
As with any skill that we have mastered, it is easy to forget that it might be new for someone else. It is that reminder that I find fun and so enriching when I see new learners take on the skill development for the first time.
I learn more when workshops are engaging and active. I expect the learners in my workshops feel the same, so I do whatever I can to make learning fun, appealing and relevant.
