Recognized for improving data reporting processes and operational optimization, I have a verifiable history of professional success as both an intern, student, and worker. Professional focal points include copywriting skills, commercial awareness, strong communication skills, project management, analytical expertise, videography, team leadership, and technical proficiency. In addition to Editing and Journalism, I also focus on magazine and feature writing and authored a variety of projects during my university course.

It received positive feedback from both my tutors and peers.
