Starting as a copywriter and content writer 4 1/2 years ago at Xplor Education, I became the Marketing Team Lead within 6 months, leading a team of 10. While retaining my copywriting and proofreading duties, I was tasked with planning, executing, and delivering campaigns and projects on time for four childcare brands, ensuring consistent voice, brand alignment, and timely delivery across digital and print channels. Backed by +25 years of teaching EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and +15 years of proofreading subtitles translated into English, I have spent most of my career finding and fixing mistakes in English. As a copywriter, this ensures the copy you receive will not only be well written, but professional and error-free. As a former EFL instructor, I am especially well suited to help non-native English speakers with their copy. I have spent a quarter of a century helping students find the words they need to express themselves, which allows me to represent your brand the way you want.
