What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead editorial teams, grow audience engagement through strategic content, and work in a collaborative sports/fitness media environment.

I am a content manager and sports journalist with 4+ years of focused experience in sports, fitness, and eSports coverage. I have managed cross-functional teams of 10–15 people, overseeing writers, social media, editors and operations to deliver consistent, high-performing content.

I produce high-volume editorial output — including 3–4 daily articles on eSports and Gaming and 600+ bodybuilding and fitness articles — while developing content strategies, assigning topics based on trends, and leading creative brainstorming with stakeholders.

I bring strong written and oral communication, trend awareness, and team leadership to roles that demand editorial rigor, audience growth, and measurable social engagement.
