What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can create high-impact, SEO-driven content, mentor writers, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow in content strategy within a supportive, growth-oriented team.

I am a BA (Hons.) TESL graduate from the University of Kelaniya with hands-on experience in content writing, syllabus design, and research writing. I combine strong communication and ICT skills with creativity and AI-assisted workflows to produce SEO-optimised blog posts, case studies, newsletters, landing pages, and social media content that drive engagement and conversions.

Currently pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in International Relations, I have worked across full-time content specialist and writer roles for international clients, mentoring junior writers and coordinating multidisciplinary teams. My achievements include published undergraduate research, leadership roles in student organizations, and successful content projects tailored to diverse audiences, including Australian financial topics and Singapore-based clients.
