What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute my editing and writing skills while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated copy editor and proofreader with extensive experience in the publishing industry. Over the years, I have honed my skills as a Senior Editor and Scriptwriter at The Coffee Media and Publishing, where I have been instrumental in crafting compelling narratives and ensuring high-quality content. My journey began as a Humanities Editor at Editions Africa, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling.

In addition to my editorial roles, I have engaged in various freelance projects, including my current position as a Freelance English Scripting Editor with Deluxe Media Entertainment. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my ongoing pursuit of an M.A. in Applied Communication and participation in numerous workshops, including those focused on digital skills and radio drama scriptwriting. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to contribute to innovative projects that challenge my creativity.
