From my earliest memories, writing, reading and researching have been central passions in my life. These passions matured as I did, leading me to the University of St Andrews. Here I completed an MA (Hons) in International Relations and Modern History, followed by a postgraduate MLitt in International Security. Alongside my degrees, I worked online as a freelance editor and proofreader for a range of clients, from multinational businesses to bestselling science-fiction novelists. I am delighted to now work in a role where I can combine my love of policy and my love of words in the capacity of Research Editor. Having grown up as the daughter of two primary school teachers, I have always had a huge appreciation for those who play the vital role of working in the education sector, and I am proud to work for a company that provides such valuable assistance and support to teachers and leaders.
