Prior to establishing Ascension Editing, Annie was the Communications Editor for SHL (a highly successful global HR Consulting Organisation), providing expert editing and formatting services to the Australian and New Zealand businesses. As SHL's Communications Editor, Annie had ultimate responsibility for the quality, consistency and presentation of a range of documentation for the business. This included editing and formatting of templates, proposals, high-level reports (for clients including the Australian Public Service Commission and major banks), training documentation and promotional material. Since operating as an independent consultant, Annie has delivered editing and formatting training to SHL's administrative team, covering topics such as using macros to facilitate adherence to corporate style guides.

During her career, Annie gained valuable professional services experience spanning industries including Market Research (Quality Assurance, Supervising, Editing, and Executive Assistance in Australia and New Zealand), Health & Fitness (as a Trainer with Reebok Instructors Alliance, Fitness Manager, and Group Fitness Instructor in South Africa, the Netherlands and Australia) and Engineering (Drafting). Annie's love of writing, editing and design meant that these aspects of each role were consistently afforded strong attention.

Annie will take on an assignment where her skill will make a difference to her client, and she prefers to engage with clients who value having a grammar sheriff and wordsmith; and appreciate the difference that neat, attractive presentation makes.

Ascension is a small island in the South Atlantic, and Annie's birthplace. Ascension also carries the meaning of 'rising to a higher level'.
