About me

Since winning my first award in 3rd grade, I've had a passion for writing. And for the first three decades of my life, I admit, I didn't pursue it to fullest. 


But in 2017, after working in the restaurant industry for over a decade, I left to fulfill my dream of becoming a freelance writer.

It wasn't easy, but I built a wonderful clientele base and worked very hard to make my dream a reality. I even expanded my services to feature voiceover artistry and ESL specialization. 

I offer those same values to every client and ensure quality work delivered in a timely manner. Contact me and let's see what I can bring to your project.


My vision has taken me all over the world, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Great experience. Will definitely work with him again!"

Upwork Client - Dubai - 2020


"Jake is extremely talented and we love his work. He is always willing to go the extra mile to do additional research when needed in order to present a high-quality piece."

Upwork Client - Denver - 2019

"I worked with Jake on a translation project for one of my regular clients, as she needed a US native proofreader. The document was lengthy, academic and technical. He did a very thorough job, showed great attention to details and used his writing skill to amend parts of the documents which were unclear. He also finished before the deadline, and my client was very satisfied."

Elinor Zucchet - Freelance Translations/Writing/Voice/Marketing - elinorzucchet.com
