About me
I am a freelance writer with over 10 years of experience in journalism, covering a wide range of topics and regions, especially Asia. I have worked as a production editor and reporter for the South China Morning Post, the leading English-language news outlet in Hong Kong. I edited and published articles, created an archaeology and paleontology beat, and managed social media accounts.
I am passionate about translating complex and nuanced stories into engaging, informative content for diverse audiences. I have written and edited articles, newsletters, op-eds, and interviews for various corporate clients from a wide range of industries. I have a master's degree in journalism from the University of Hong Kong and a bachelor's degree in history and political science from the University of Oregon.
