What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and collaborate with diverse teams.

As a contentpreneur and storyteller, I have spent over 14 years honing my skills in content writing, editing, and curation. My journey began after earning my MA in Linguistics from Queen Mary, University of London, and has taken me across various countries, working with corporates, startups, and agencies. My expertise lies in crafting content that resonates with diverse audiences, tailored to their specific needs and cultural contexts.

As the founder of Content Garrage and LekinQ Communications, I have successfully built brands from the ground up, creating everything from company profiles to marketing collateral. My role as Marketing & Communications Head at Astitwaah has allowed me to shape the brand's identity and voice, while also developing innovative content strategies that engage and educate. I am passionate about using my skills to make a positive impact, particularly in areas like neurodiversity and communication.
