Ailsa.io

I am an effective, dedicated, and efficient operations lead, technical writer, manager, and editor. I bring proven experience of delivering projects ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 words, spanning timelines of three hours to three years, and covering an array of industries spanning medical devices, drug discovery, AI integrations, geological engineering, automotive engineering, and more.

I have accrued over 13 years’ cumulative experience of writing and managing in diverse arenas including industry-agnostic grant-writing, highly technical R&D reports, prestigious academic journal publications, luxury automotive press releases, agricultural machinery manuals, and first-class in-flight magazines. I am equally comfortable working as a solo consultant and as a team/operational manager for a cohort of over 20 contributors (including relationship managers, technical writers, consultants, and specialist contractors) across four continents.

In 2021, I completed a doctoral research project in the field of American literatures, histories, and politics, having undertaken my studies at the University of East Anglia. My thesis explored the role of Indigenous American storyworks as forms of potent literary activism, troubling Western theoretical frameworks of constitution, temporality, and place.
