About
I’m a copywriter, social media manager, and proofreader with over 12 years of experience helping brands and businesses across industries like technology, finance, healthcare, and coaching, communicate with clarity, purpose, and personality.
With a background in journalism, I bring sharp research skills, an editorial instinct, and the ability to turn complex ideas into content that connects.
Whether it’s web copy, blog articles, social media, newsletters, or long-form features, I shape words that inform, persuade, and engage.
I’ve managed multiple projects and content calendars, while aligning with SEO, brand voice, audience targeting, and calls to action that drive results.
I’m excited by how technology and AI can enhance communication and learning, and I’m available to start immediately with flexible deadlines.

I work closely with clients to shape content strategies around goals, audience, and brand voice. From content calendars to messaging guides, I ensure smooth execution from idea to article. I write blog posts, articles, and research-based content; recently collaborated with Chronic Pain Australia on monthly long-form posts. My copy spans websites, blogs, social media, newsletters, landing pages, and marketing materials. I apply SEO best practices, keyword research (SEMrush), and content performance analysis, and I also support grant writing and website audits. I coordinate content production and proofreading to maintain tone and quality.
