editor

Deborah is RSA qualified to Distinction, with 100wpm typing speed and an impressively geeky knowledge of computer applications and web building and design.   A stickler for the exactness and preciseness of documents and the written word as well as the layout and formatting of documents and web pages, Deborah has, over her be-suited years in the City, often taken on the task of being editor or proofreader on top of the original role she was employed to undertake, in whichever company she happened to be working for.

Deborah has vast experience supporting top-level senior execs and directors, including Finance Directors, Chief Operating Officers, HR Directors and Campaigns/Events Directors within a myriad of industries and organisations.  As a result of the exposure to various marketplaces, she has had to hone her skills in order to 'hit the ground running'.  This is because more often than not - when employed on a contractual basis - it is essential to speedily grasp of the role, its current situation and the working environment.  Also it is imperative to quickly gain an understanding of terminology or jargon and the industry or department and the climate at hand.  Deborah has had to use initiative and well-practiced methodologies that can be implemented or utilised in that position at that time, as well as ensuring that she smoothly falls into step with the current incumbent or line manager to adopt their modes of working and culture.  

​

There have been many pertinent, (even UK-affecting), meetings at board and executive level that Deborah has sat in on, be it to lead and present, report on agenda matters, advise and support or take minutes.  Also, Deborah always seems to be the person that undertakes that 'groan' job of writing it all up, (which she sincerely enjoys!).  Thus, she is comfortable and confident in being able to speak at various levels, altering her use of language depending on the audience and the status and nature of the meeting or the phone call etc.

​

The result is that Deborah is super-organised, a multi-tasker, (and now being mum to a two year old, wearing many hats has tripled in strength), has above and beyond capabilities of the administrative nature and a positive can and will-do attitude that thrives on communicating and involving all departments and employees and colleagues.


As an experienced actress and voiceover artist with frequent exposure to celebs, directors, producers and media, Deborah is accustomed to the patter and charm that comes with networking, the importance the voice and language and attitude has when juggling to keep everyone happy and productive.  She also has an incredibly tireless proactive and resilient drive to keep on going till a job is complete or an avenue is exhausted.  Deborah's training and experience to dissect and analyse text from her academic days means she is adept at cutting through to the meaning or messages they wish to convey - whether they be narratives from storybooks, Shakespearean verse, online newsletters or reports from a banking conference.

​

Finally, Deborah is a talented and engaging writer and can pretty much put her opinions to paper on almost any subject, whether they be articles with light-hearted humour or passionate rantings of her points of views.   Or maybe knowledgeable expertise and fact-based information for forums, newspapers and magazines or website content.  And most definitely sketches, comedy ditties, screenplays and theatre scripts, TV commercials and radio broadcasts.
