SKILLS & EXPERTISE

  • Writing, Journalism & Editorial Strategy : I bring hands-on experience in writing, editing, and developing content for both digital and print platforms. My work spans news reporting, feature writing, and multimedia storytelling. I’ve written for outlets like Wales Online and Voice of America, and have led editorial planning, conducted interviews, and shaped content narratives tailored to diverse audiences.

  • Content Creation & Digital Media: I specialize in content strategy and audience engagement across platforms including Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and websites. I’ve created and scheduled social media content calendars, written SEO-optimized blog posts, crafted brand messaging, and tracked engagement metrics to inform performance-driven content strategies.

  • Multimedia & Project Management: Trained in video production and editing, I’ve produced podcasts, short-form videos, and internal communications content. I have experience with CMS platforms, content migration, and running digital campaigns. Most recently, I’ve worked cross-functionally with marketing and design teams to manage creative projects from concept through delivery, ensuring deadlines and brand standards are met.
