WELCOME TO words and wonder
Dr jessica de waal
I’m Jessica De Waal.
A writer with a life-long passion for words and the world we live in. I work where story-telling, sustainability and learning meet.
With over a decade of experience in international education, I write content that nurtures growth, raises awareness and educates young people.
Whether it’s writing articles about the environment and culture, learning materials for educators working with children, or creating copy for eco-conscious brands, I bring clarity and creativity to every project.
