What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or cross-border content, editorial, SEO, or communications work where I can create accurate, compliant content for complex or regulated industries.

I've led SEO strategy, social media, and content communications for Ilesol Pharmaceuticals, ensuring brand content aligned with regulatory and industry-compliance requirements.

I write and edit blog and web content that makes technical pharmaceutical subjects clear, accurate, and engaging while supporting organic search visibility. My work at Ilesol began as a Content Writer and led to promotion to Senior SEO and Communications Manager.

Before content marketing, I built 14 years of experience across journalism, television, and public-sector communications in Croatia and the UK. I've reported international news from London, edited business news services and publications, and produced a daily TV talk show in real time.

I'm comfortable working independently in fully remote, cross-border teams, handling sensitive information discreetly, and delivering well-researched content under deadline pressure in Croatian and English.
