About

I’m a freelancer who specializes in editing and creative writing from the United States (but currently residing in South Korea).

I’m a storyteller at heart with a background in journalism and editorial leadership. I’ve reported for newspapers, served as Co-Editor-in-Chief of my college’s News Center magazine, and written and edited for a Christian publication.

My work spans published articles, visually driven stories, and social media content—one post reaching over 11,000 likes.

I also have experience in video editing, graphic design, and digital marketing.
