What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a multifaceted content writer and award-winning storyteller with over 10 years of experience in crafting impactful, voice-driven content across various sectors including lifestyle, tech, wellness, and e-commerce. My expertise lies in distilling complex ideas into emotionally resonant narratives that engage and convert audiences. I excel in content strategy, pipeline management, and cross-functional collaboration, making me a go-to writer for teams seeking originality, clarity, and depth in their messaging.

Throughout my career, I have led significant projects such as the 'Wiki Revamp Project' at Meta, transforming scattered documentation into a visually organized knowledge hub, and the 'Community Voices Project,' which captured employee experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. My work has not only improved internal collaboration but has also been recognized with multiple literary awards, including the Nautilus Award and the Literary Titan Award for my novel, 'Einstein in the Attic.' I am passionate about creating narratives that resonate and drive engagement, whether through technical writing, branded content, or long-form storytelling.
