What I'm looking for

I am looking for a creative role that allows me to leverage my writing and marketing skills while collaborating with innovative teams.

I am a passionate and self-motivated scriptwriter with over 7 years of experience in marketing, content creation, and creative writing. My journey has allowed me to work with renowned brands such as Superbalist and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where I have honed my skills in scriptwriting and content marketing. I pride myself on my ability to transform client ideas into compelling visual narratives, ensuring that every project I undertake resonates with its intended audience.

In addition to my writing prowess, I have a solid understanding of digital marketing strategies and SEO, which I have applied in my role as a Digital Marketing Manager. My academic background, including a B.A. in Film, Media, and Television Production, has equipped me with the technical skills necessary to excel in this industry. I am always eager to learn and grow, and I thrive in collaborative environments where creativity flourishes.
