What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow as an editor while contributing to high-quality content creation.

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature from the University of Benin. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong command of grammar, language, and storytelling, which I am eager to apply in a professional setting. I am passionate about shaping compelling content and maintaining high editorial standards across both digital and print media.

During my time as an Editorial Intern at The Tempest Media, I honed my skills in reviewing and editing articles for clarity and style. I collaborated closely with writers to refine their content and ensure it met publishing standards. Additionally, I led a team of student editors for the Students Literary Magazine, where I coordinated the review and selection of submissions, edited various literary pieces, and managed the layout and final proofreading processes.

Currently, I work as a Freelance Content Editor, where I edit blog posts, essays, and short stories for tone and consistency while providing developmental feedback. My ability to manage multiple deadlines for various clients showcases my strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering quality work.
