What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated freelance editor and English language tutor with a strong background in research and advocacy. My experience spans over two decades, during which I have honed my skills in proofreading, editing, and creating impactful content that raises awareness on critical issues. I have worked with various organizations, including the Consumers’ Association of Penang and the Pesticide Action Network, where I contributed to shaping policies and advocating for consumer rights and environmental conservation.
Throughout my career, I have developed a keen ability to communicate complex ideas effectively, whether through written content or direct engagement with stakeholders. My role as a Research Officer allowed me to analyze urban development and healthcare issues, while my experience as an Advocacy Officer involved collaborating with NGOs and government agencies to promote cultural heritage preservation. I am passionate about empowering others through education, providing tailored support to secondary school students in their English language learning journey.
