What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my writing skills in a creative environment, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and grow professionally.

I am a motivated and self-driven writer who prides myself on creating written work that inspires me. My journey through university and various internships has honed my skills in researching and time management, which serve me well in writing articles and fact-checking historic events. My creativity is my greatest asset, and I aspire to refine it to make even the most mundane subjects engaging.

As an Editorial Intern at YourBookTeam, I have taken on the role of Project Manager, where I delegate tasks and train new interns, ensuring our team operates smoothly. I also founded the Kitchen Magnet Collective Magazine, where I actively engage with the community to encourage submissions and promote our magazine. My experience spans various editorial roles, including content writing and editing for AI responses, showcasing my adaptability and commitment to quality.
