What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to enhance content quality and collaborate with creative teams in a supportive environment.

I am a meticulous and versatile Proofreader/Copy Editor with over three years of hands-on experience in corporate, academic, and editorial settings. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of editing and refining internal communications for the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company and contributing to the NNPC’s monthly publication. I am passionate about elevating content quality, maintaining clarity and tone, and helping organizations communicate with impact and precision.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in academic writing and freelance editing, developing a strong portfolio of research paper edits and original thought pieces published on platforms like Medium and Substack. My role as an Assistant Editor for “Above Only,” a daily devotional with a global reach of over 5 million readers, allowed me to collaborate closely with pastors and writers, ensuring theological clarity and grammatical accuracy in our publications. I thrive in fast-paced environments, managing tight editorial schedules while maintaining strict confidentiality and editorial integrity.
