About me
Since winning my first writing award in 3rd grade, I've had a passion for creating content. After working in the restaurant industry for over a decade, I left to fulfill my dream of becoming a copywriter and eventually grew into the role of freelance content creator.
It wasn't easy, but I've built a wonderful clientele base and worked very hard to make my dream a reality. I even expanded my services to include Voiceover, Video Content, and ESL Content.
I offer those same values to every client and ensure quality work delivered in a timely manner. Let's talk and 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.
