Ruth provided excellent writing support to a large number of stakeholders in the development of a series of case studies describing the impact of the University’s research. Ruth handled this complex exercise superbly. She had a thorough understanding of the highly detailed requirements of the project and was able to distil, communicate and apply this information effectively. She exceeded all expectations in terms of the quality of her work, and worked tirelessly and consultatively with our stakeholders to meet a series of tight deadlines. She provided regular updates to management, was proactive in seeking solutions to problems as they arose, and brought a great sense of positivity to the task. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and succeeded in developing positive relationships with all stakeholders including academics from a range of disciplines, (health and medicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc.). Ruth was especially skilled in translating complex science into engaging content suitable for a general audience. I would not hesitate to recommend Ruth to any University, Institute, Research Group or Researcher looking to appoint a writing professional.

I worked with Ruth during her time at Stop Climate Chaos – she managed the role of bringing together multiple organisations, (with their separate identities, priorities and plans), to deliver joint plans that contributed to real change – an achievement not to be underestimated! She’s a brilliant strategist and a creative force, I’d have no hesitation in recommending her to organisations looking for campaign delivery or communications support.
