I worked at Nelson Thornes for this period as an interim publisher for secondary Geography and D&T.

I worked for the IB for two years, providing publishing support to the three programmes: Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma (Senior Years) and the Continuum team. My focus was primarily on using new media to help the development process for publications, and using video/screencasting as a tool for communicating with IB educators.

While at Nelson Thornes I managed the Foundation Subjects / Humanities list, working on a wide range of secondary school subjects from Art and Design to Welsh-language Religious Studies. This included publishing blended learning products at Key Stage 3 and GCSE level.

I became a commissioning editor at Heinemann following several years as a desk editor, editor and senior editor in Humanities.
