About me
I'm a motivated, young creative copywriter with over three years of experience in in-house and remote roles. After achieving First Class Honours in English Literature at Falmouth University, I began developing my skills in professional writing. After a number of entry-level remote jobs, I worked for six months in content creation for the football media site, 90min. Following this, I worked for a corporate travel company called SilverDoor for over two years. Simultaneously, my core literary interests also led me to create Books Beyond Borders, a literary review blog where I dissect and explore Latin American literature, film and politics. These interests also took me to Central America where my girlfriend and I travelled from Mexico City to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
