I am an independent creative writer with experience in the NGO sector. My creative vision connects emotions with words, and seeks to heal "reality" with fantasy.
I write fiction, poetry, travel pieces, opinion pieces, and book reviews (please refer to my website - energyinmotion.squarespace.com - for samples).
In recent years I have lived, studied and worked part time in London followed by Amsterdam, and the periods in between have been spent volunteering and travelling the world.
I am now seeking a role in which I can put my literary training and unique creative vision to the productive use of an existing brand/company. I am looking for full time work but am also available to work on a freelance basis.

WriterGurls Talk
London, United KingdomFreelance
Over the past few years I have balanced my own personal creative projects with producing content for larger and smaller publications. For instance, I developed a political poem for a small arts magazine (Tonic Magazine) at the time of the protests for women's safety in London (2021), which later sparked an interest with the larger corporation Gurls Talk, who I consequently worked with.
