What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an editorial role where I can ensure accuracy and strong storytelling, mentor writers, and build impactful knowledge and communication products—especially across research-informed, development-focused digital work.

I’m an editor and communications professional with experience spanning digital journalism, development communication, publishing, and multilingual editorial work. In fast-paced news and sports environments, I edit and publish content, run fact-checking and copy editing, and mentor writers to strengthen storytelling, accuracy, and audience engagement.

I’ve also supported research and impact-focused work, including authoring a report on misinformation and gender in digital spaces and curating digital archive content. From consultancy roles supporting international agencies to editorial work on publications tied to digital inclusion, gender, and social impact, I bring strong editorial standards, policy-aware communication, and content strategy to every assignment.
