I indexed the journal for the Baptist Historical Society for a number of years, which covers global and religious history from the 1600s to the present, biographical pieces, theological reflections and local church histories.

BA (Hons) French and Arabic.
My language studies included several modules on Islamic topics, as well as a year residing in Morocco, which has given me a depth of insight into Islamic history, literature and theology.
I have indexed a number of books on Islamic theology and law, medieval Islamic texts and commentaries translated from Arabic to English, and several works on Sufism. Books indexed include An Anthology of Qur’anic Commentaries, Vol. 2: On Women (Bauer and Hamza, 2021) and The Essence of Reality: A Defense of Philosophical Sufism (‘Ayn al-Qudat, 2022).

I have indexed works covering many aspects of Christian and Islamic theology as well as atheism and other world-views, including Transcendent God, Rational World: A Maturidi Theology (Harvey, 2021) and An Atheist’s Guide to God (Phelps, 2018).

BA (Hons) French and Arabic.
I have indexed multi-author academic works on Italian literature and popular culture, including Transcultural Italies: Mobility, Memory and Translation (Burdett, Polezzi and Spadaro, 2020).

I have indexed several books in this field, with knowledge of Islamic and Arab culture underpinned by a degree in Arabic, including The Israel-Palestine Conflict: A History (Gelvin, 2021).

I have spent time living and studying in countries across North and West Africa, as well as completing a module in Francophone Studies at University. Indexes include African Heritage Challenges: Communities and Sustainable Development (Baillie, 2020) and Echoes of Empire – 2 volume set: Sierra Leone Philatelic Legacy, 1786-1980 (Halawi, 2020).

Indexing the Baptist Quarterly covers global Christian history from 1600 to today, which also incorporates political and social history across that time. My University studies and now recent indexing experience have included various works on medieval Islamic history.

Studying several European languages as well as Arabic has given me a solid foundation in linguistics, as well as indexing a number of works related to this field, including Negation, Expectation and Ideology in Written Texts: A textual and communicative perspective (Nahajec, 2021) and The Phonetics/Phonology Interface (Zsiga, 2020).

Recent indexes have covered works on a variety of philosophical and religious outlooks, as well as a University textbook on the philosophy of language.

As well as indexing in this area, I am a frequent user of books on this subject, and understand the needs of readers.

I am a regular user of books in this field, especially yarn crafts, and therefore familiar with the subject and the needs of readers. Indexes include Rush Basketry: Weaving with Eight Makers (ed. Murphy, 2018).

I have a background in classical music performance and history. Indexes include Black Classical Musicians and Composers, 1500-2000 (King-Dorset, 2019).
