What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my writing, editing, social media, and UX/UI skills to digital storytelling, media, or product-focused work where I can keep developing creative ideas and user-centered experiences.

I've developed drama series in writers' rooms with Ginger Ink and One Fine Day, including serving as head writer for the Country Queen pilot and Episode 1.

As an editor for Amomama and Womanly Live, I created and quality-checked lifestyle and celebrity content, consistently delivering up to six articles daily through WordPress and Google Docs.

I've also supported digital marketing at Africa Digital Media Institute, managing social channels and building skills in SEO, post scheduling, Trello, Canva, Figma, and UX/UI design.
