ABOUT ME

Lucie Herraiz Cunningham

Besides being a freelance copywriter in Glasgow for charities, small businesses and sole traders (freelancers.)  I am a discerning consumer who loves to be won over by excellent products, services and customer service. For the non-profit project City's Finest, I have written many reviews about shops, cafés and restaurants.

I value diversity having grown up in a bi-cultural (French and Spanish ) family and attended schools with pupils from very diverse cultural backgrounds. I have lived in various countries (France, England, the USA on both coasts, the Netherlands and Scotland.) I studied several languages at school and university: English for 11 years, Spanish for 9 years, Latin for 5 years and Italian for 1 year. For each I took extensive grammar and translation classes. I took multiple courses in Dutch as a second language which led me to pass a national exam, the NT2II which is required for university entrance. I combined language studies with socio-economics and sociology studies in high school and university.

I used all these skills in my work, with a focus on communications, creating collaborative environments and running projects related to education and internationals' participation in their new country of residence.

I was a vibrant grassroots community leader and board member for various cultural and community organisations in the Netherlands and a volunteer for the Latin American Center in Atlanta, GA in the USA. I am currently secretary of the board for a Scottish charity called HSTAR Scotland SCIO. I am working on an extensive list of UK charities serving women and girls in my spare time. It has been my pleasure volunteering for organisations addressing issues such as diversity and inclusion, emancipation, civic participation, the green movement and culture. I care about my clients and their success. I am a qualified copywriter for charities due to my experience in the third sector and empathy for charity clients.

I am based in Glasgow and work online globally.
