What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my writing skills in innovative projects, particularly in AI and technology.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented communication professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from the University of Nairobi. With over three years of experience in creative writing, copywriting, and editing, I have honed my ability to produce clear, accurate, and engaging content that adheres to complex guidelines and maintains high editorial standards.

Throughout my career, I have developed original, well-researched written content for diverse clients, including blog posts, website copy, and marketing materials. My proficiency in English (C2) allows me to excel in grammar, vocabulary, and style control. I am passionate about leveraging my language skills to contribute to AI training projects that advance natural language understanding, and I thrive in remote collaboration environments.
