 I love simplifying complicated concepts in entertaining ways. I’ve explored the depths of copywriting and still feel that it’s the best career path I could’ve taken. 

After graduating from AAA School of Advertising in 2014, I interned at Ogilvy & Mather, joined FCB on a trainee program and dabbled in digital at Liquorice Digitas Lbi. I’ve written copy for online press releases, newsletters, web articles for banner ads and microsites. I’m currently working on a website with my brother-in-law called mysocialanxietylife.com having done an intensive blogging course from incomeschool.com that covers everything from building niche sites, and keyword searches to optimising Google ranking and increasing traffic. Allow me to demonstrate my skill and create content that resonates with audiences in a powerful and meaningful way. 

Currently produce content for all marketing communications for a delivery company including performance marketing adverts, in-app communication, emails and social media. I've created copy for printed collateral, press releases, and above-the-line advertising to ensure all are aligned with brand and campaign themes. 

Ensured editorial standards of excellence as an editor. Conceptualised and wrote copy for radio commercials, general on-air content and station. Attended briefing sessions with clients, and proofread all on-air content and promotions copy. Communicated across Programming, Sales and Marketing departments and directed voice-over artists in the production studio.
