About Helen

I am an experienced freelance journalist, editor and copywriter specialising in business, aerospace & aviation and energy. I also write about travel, lifestyle, culture, science & technology and health.

I write in English but I am fluent in French and also speak Italian. I'm a qualified translator from French to English.

I am Aviation Week's European Air Transport Editor alongside my freelance writing, editing and copywriting work. I have written for titles including the Guardian, the Observer, Discover Cleantech, Metro, Al Jazeera, Refinery 29, The Telegraph, The Sunday Express, Horizon, Oxford Today and Aircraft Cabin Management. Before going freelance, I worked for Reuters and FlightGlobal.

I am available for commissions as well as corporate work, including editing, copywriting and media training.
