Personal statement
My name is Alexandra Walker-Jones, and I’m a writer with a passion for transforming 12 computer tabs worth of research into something more succinct and enjoyable for a wider audience. I have a strong (1:1) academic background in psychology and sociology, with additional familiarity with a range of subjects including as environmental science, nutrition, political science, and creative writing.
My strengths lie in written and verbal communication, SEO, research and science-based writing, as well as in my general appetite for contributing to something bigger than myself.
