SLP, South Korea

ESL Teacher

I spent a year in Seoul teaching my own classes of five year olds. This was the most challenging role I’ve had so far and also incredibly rewarding. As well as teaching, I was responsible for creating presentations and decorations, and for writing and directing my classes’ graduation plays.

Piccadilly Press

Assistant Editor

This was an incredibly varied role where I was responsible for managing the company’s social networking, internship scheme, digital list and print schedule.

My keen eye for detail was put to the test copy editing stories, as well as during the nerve-wracking task of signing off proofs from the printers, and very much rewarded when the advance copies arrived at the office.

I was delighted to take on an increasing amount of design work and created catalogues, marketing materials and book proof covers.
