What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and allows for professional growth in digital marketing.

I am a quality-oriented digital marketer and copywriter with over 10 years of experience in enhancing digital presence and content strategy. My dual citizenship in Canada and South Africa has provided me with a unique perspective on global marketing trends. I have successfully managed digital platforms, optimized content for SEO, and created engaging online courses, all while ensuring that best practices are followed.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in roles such as Digital Content Editor and Marketing Coordinator, where I developed strategies to grow company visibility and improve user engagement. My experience includes managing social media channels, conducting analytics, and implementing UX improvements. I pride myself on my ability to edit and proofread high volumes of content while maintaining quality and adherence to editorial standards.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Geography and Psychology, complemented by a Postgraduate Diploma in Nature Conservation. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in content writing, SEO, and social media marketing to drive impactful results in a dynamic work environment.
