Hello, I have years of experience as a trained writer having worked for top East African Society Magazine DRUM East Africa as its Staff Writer. In my role at DRUM, I was responsible for more than 100 well written and researched pieces on notable personalities, lifestyle, culinaries, health, fashion, technology and books among many other areas. I have a good command of the English language. I write in short, engaging, easy to read sentences. I pay great attention to grammar, and possess a wealth of vocabulary that would help you reach your goals. I am also diverse; I write thrilling short stories, as well as I write visually in the form of dramatic short films/ scripts. With vast experience in editing and proofreading of articles, I break down complex sentences, and communicate the core of your writing error free, coherent, and in a way that would make your work resonate with your readers. I have good stage presence, and a calm and authoritative voice that makes me an asset for commercials. I have lent my image and voice to several TV commercials and movies as an Actor and Voice artist. Voice overs are what I mostly do on here. I am also trained as a Virtual Assistant and have experience in Digital marketing. I possess certifications in both the above named areas, from ALX Africa, and from Google Digital Skills for Africa respectively. I look forward to working with you in as many of the areas I am qualified in. I pride myself in a keen dedication to my work and professionalism. Thank you for your time and consideration, warm regards. Mwamburi Maole.
