I have written football articles for several different websites, including Sports Courant where I wrote for over three years on all different clubs and topics. I am mainly writing for another website which I mainly focus on a lot of different sports, travel destinations or a topic of choice from the website Where I Live.com. Alongside this I have written for two different blogs about football mastery and another which included travel, education and lifestyle. I have also done several market testing for companies who wanted me test their product and give my honest review of it. I am currently a Teaching Assistant in a school working with pupils aged between 10 and 18 years old but I have always had a passion for sports writing, particularly football. I have been incredibly passionate about sport ever since I was 6 years old when I attended my first football game, Blackpool vs Luton Town, a wonderful 1-0 win for Blackpool. The passion grew and the excitement expanded into other sports including Hockey and many other sports. You name the sport and I will be interested in it. I have gained the ability of essay writing having studied the style at School, College and University. I have achieved a C in English Language at A-Level and a Certificate of Higher Level Education in English as well. Working in a school I am able to help construct, dissect and assist with the writing of essays in several different subjects. Having decided to follow my passion for sport by expressing myself through sports writing online, I decided to use Give Me Sport as one of my stepping stones into the journalist field. I wrote over 75 articles for the website and gained the title of Contributor. I have also wrote match reports for several hockey clubs as a playing member and as a non playing member. I am hoping to build up a strong portfolio in sports writing and hoping to better myself even if it is for non-profitable purposes, I really enjoy writing about sport as a leisure activity. I am punctual, confident and I enjoy helping people understand a subject clearer than they may have done before. Informing and being involved in a discussion is what sport is all about.

I have 12+ years of experience as a degree-educated journalist, content writer and editor. I have worked with all shapes and sizes of client across a huge range of industries and I am Top Rated with 100% job success. My rates are negotiable but, if you have a small budget, we are unlikely to be a good fit as I produce very high-quality work. I will not usually be able to work for below $0.10 per word. I am comfortable writing about virtually anything, my spelling and grammar are of the highest order and I will not rest until you are satisfied with my work. I specialise in travel, sports and betting-related content but I am happy to discuss projects in other areas. I can also proofread and edit content and I provide SEO advice, content strategy tips and social media marketing guidance. I can record videos and host podcasts for you. Whatever your content needs, I can help. I am a native English speaker, born and raised in the UK. I am now highly experienced on Upwork - developing a number of successful long-term relationships with clients after having graduated from the Rising Talent scheme - and I look forward to working with you.
