She is passionate about the power of story to meaningfully connect people across workplaces, with customers, to government departments, and within communities. And she believes that the connective power of narrative, whether in reports, product disclosure statements, leaflets, memos, emails, community messages, comes from clear communication — from choosing the right words, the right structure and correct punctuation and grammar. Gina does corporate and government document rewrites and reviews. She also runs language workshops in the legal, banking, insurance, and not-for-profit sectors where she encourages authors to write with a voice that is always plain, clear, and engaging — no matter what the topic.
