About Me
With plenty of published work - written, photographic, and complete feature articles - I am the perfect fit for one-stop content creation.
My work in newspapers has taught me the critical nature of accurate research and deadlines. My work in marketing has afforded me extensive knowledge of sales psychology, SEO, and brand integrity. Combine this wisdom with my skills as a content creator and you have someone who raises the bar and seeks to keep elevating it.
A curious demeanour leads me to explore different angles and combine ideas in interesting and new ways. I excel at finding things to photograph and write about where others find themselves being repetitive.
I've recently become available for work and am open to both temporary contracts and permanent employment. My passion is such that I am willing to travel anywhere in the world for my work.
