I’m a disabled Creative and Professional Writing graduate with an interest in copywriting, transcribing, copyediting and proofreading, as well as social media management and content creation. Due to my health issues, I'm keen to gain work that can be done remotely on either a part-time or freelance basis.
I have experience in:
• content creation for websites and social media
• writing and editing
• blogging (personally and professionally)
• social media management
• creating basic graphics/images
• composing both creative and professional emails.
As someone who grew up in the generation whose childhoods revolved around imagination and creation, while my teen years became dominated by social media and digital, I hope that I can perhaps offer a unique perspective to one or more of these areas of work!
