I am an expert in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), Wiki ecosystems, and AI visibility. I help startups, tech companies, and organizations ensure they are accurately represented in open knowledge graphs and digital platforms that power generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. I work on both the narrative and structured data side and have expertise in copywriting for AI as well as schema.org markup and other technical strategies to improve visibility in AI search results. I hold advanced degrees from the Universities of Stellenbosch and Cambridge.

I am a freelance scientific writer and proofreader in biology and medicine with an academic background. I completed my Master's in wildlife conservation physiology at the University of the Witwatersrand. Thereafter, I was an associate research officer for the Brain Function Research Group for five years while pursuing a PhD. I have published several scientific articles, but I did not complete my PhD. Instead, I became a freelance writer and proofreader. I proofread academic manuscripts, dissertations, theses, and other academic documents. I correct language, improve sentence and paragraph structure, check logic and flow, and format references. In addition to my academic work, I have a passion for making scientific research accessible to the general public through popular articles.
