What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and allows for impactful storytelling while enhancing my skills in content strategy and SEO.

As an editor and journalist with four years of experience, I specialize in content production that includes editorial and advertorial features, marketing copy, and blog posts. My expertise in content strategy and SEO optimization has allowed me to significantly increase audience engagement and website traffic through strategic content management.

At GROUP GTI, I played a pivotal role in revamping the science and research website section, which led to a substantial increase in traffic. I have successfully optimized hundreds of web articles for SEO, achieving multiple top-10 Google rankings. My freelance work has further honed my skills in creating tailored content that meets diverse client needs, while my personal editorial project, A World Over Travel Blog, showcases my ability to grow site visits and improve Google rankings through strategic SEO techniques.
