Bio
Tara Crisp
Anouska worked as a freelance author and headnote writer for several products published by Thomson Reuters. Her work was of a consistently excellent standard. Her writing style is concise and shows an expert knowledge of a range of legal topics. She is a pleasure to work with and has always been able to deliver high quality work to tight deadlines. I would highly recommend Anouska in any capacity. She learns quickly, is intuitive and creative and is very reliable.
Anthony Mitchell

Anouska was a great contributor, showing great acuity of thinking, a high level of dligence and passion for whatever she did. Her strong analytical faculties combined with her highly likeable interpersonal skills make her a great asset in a wide variety of contexts.
