Senior digital journalist and content creator translating global news into local stories.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven digital journalist and content creator with 6 years of experience producing high-engagement editorial content and managing dynamic social media platforms. I write, edit, and publish journalistic articles, lifestyle editorials, and viral news stories—always aiming to earn attention and keep it through smart storytelling and clear voice.
For the past 6 years, I’ve managed end-to-end content creation and strategy for three major social media accounts (2 Instagram and 1 Facebook). I monitor daily pop-culture trends and breaking national events to deliver timely video content and written updates, and I track analytics to continuously improve audience reach and community growth. I also design multi-slide graphics and educational/entertainment carousels using Canva and Photopea.
Alongside my journalism work, I leverage my Professional Master’s Degree in English Translation to localize international news for regional audiences. I specialize in transforming complex stories into culturally resonant narratives, bridging language and context with professional-level accuracy. I bring the same emotional intelligence, multitasking, and crisis composure from 1.5 years in high-pressure retail sales—skills that help me stay effective under deadlines, handle objections with confidence, and deliver consistently customer-focused outcomes.
