At Independent, I edit and proofread creative and technical projects for structure, clarity and consistent tone. I also pitched, drafted and revised a four-section feature for Christos Compass Magazine with an editorial team.
My writing won 1st place nationally in the NZ Poetry Contest (Wax Poetry & Art) and was republished in Poetry World.
As a self-employed baking content creator, I made TikTok videos, photos and promotional posts, and designed and published an e-book in Canva. I’m developing YouTube content that hasn’t yet been published.
I have a Master of Science in Engineering (Applied Biotechnology) from Warsaw University of Technology. My research background includes biostatistics, scientific writing and fact-checking, and I’m practicing email campaigns, landing pages and paid social tools through self-directed learning.
