As an experienced editor and writer, I specialize in helping you refine your content to make it shine. Whether you're working on articles, scripts, or other types of written material, I focus on improving clarity, flow, and overall quality. In addition to editing, I’ve also worked extensively in AI annotation. This includes a range of tasks like labeling data, categorizing content, and generally assisting with the process that helps machine learning systems get smarter. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of annotation projects, so I’m comfortable with different types of content and data, always aiming for accuracy and consistency. When you work with me, you’ll get open communication, a solid work ethic, and a commitment to delivering quality results on time. Whether you need editing for articles or scripts, or some support with annotation work, I’ve got you covered.

Hello there, my name is Giovanni and I am a freelance copywriter, researcher, writer, and novice WordPress developer. I am a postgraduate from Rhodes University in South Africa, where I received my Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology and History, later completing my Honours degree in History. My speciality lies in research gathering and interpretation of historical patterns, as well as the analysis of social and behavioural actions/manifestations of individuals. My Honours thesis was a mix of historical research gathering and psychological and critical interpretation. What does this mean for you, and what skills can I bring to the table? It means that I can 1) assist with research gathering and data/information interpretation, relevant for UX studies/evaluations and other endeavours. 2) That I can offer insights regarding user feedback inferred from psychology. 3) That I can provide you with a critical eye and focus to detail, a skill that transfers to my writing and creativity. Aside from this, I am constantly learning and striving to better my skills. My most recent projects are learning to code in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS; and web development using WordPress (You can see some of my created websites below in my portfolio). I am available for copywriting, researching, content creation and writing, WordPress designs, transcription, editing, and proofreading. I am here to assist you to the best of my ability and in any way possible. “There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” – A Hat Full of Sky by Sir Terry Pratchett.
