The highlight of my work has always been meeting different people, finding out about what they do and why. I worked on Documentaries for the BBC for many years, before working in magazines and different publications, as a writer and editor. My series of books What….Do? allows me to continue to do what I love!

The aim of my books is to help primary school children be better informed about what their future jobs could be. Research has shown that children often choose what they want to be by the age of 7, mostly influenced by those closest to them. It is so important to give them all the options at an early age, especially when many give up on subjects in secondary school, which are essential for some careers.

I have just written my third book, What Football Job Can You Do?, which helps children discover some of the many different career options in the football industry, not just as a player.

This books follows on from What Do Vets Do? and What Do Construction Workers Do?. The latter was sponsored by Wates Group, one of UK’s largest construction firms. Wates Group distributed around 11,000 copies to various primary schools around the UK, as well as children’s books charities. 

My books are also used as a resource for the children’s educational charity, The Children’s University.

I am happy to discuss ideas for other career books, or sponsorship options for my new book.
