Other Information:

I’m a 25-year-old Brit, Scottish by way of Sussex.

In 2007 I graduated from King’s College London with a BA in War Studies & History, though I spent most of my final year in the Classics department and wrote my dissertation on the conquest narrative motifs in the histories of Alexander the Great and the Persian and Neo-Assyrian Empires. For the next two years I worked for Jane’s Information Group, content editing military equipment descriptions and specifications for various reference titles, until leaving in July 2009 to travel in Australia and Asia. I returned in September 2010 and have since worked for an online marketing company before returning to content editing.

Other interests include reading, photography, Nintendo games, ancient history, folklore, food, walking, coin-collecting and visiting museums.
