I am a native English freelancer with experience in proofreading, writing, editing, and formatting. I have a BCom degree in Strategic Management, which was primarily centered around business management, accounting, and economics. I am comfortable working in UK or US English. As part of my degree I completed various research modules and as such have experience with academic referencing, especially Harvard style. I am also familiar with academic writing and research methodology. I have a particular interest in technology and am familiar with terminology relating to programming, computer hardware and software, web development, cryptocurrency, and robotics. This interest in technology extends to AI and I am adept at using ChatGPT to speed up projects and humanizing AI work. That said, I will never use AI for a project without your explicit instructions or permission. I am comfortable working with Excel, Word, Trint, Slack, WordPress, Express Scribe, PowerPoint, Google Sheets, and Google Docs. I am also a fast learner and would love the opportunity to work in new programs and formats. This means that I'm happy to proofread comments in Python code, text on WordPress sites, and much more. I am an efficient and capable freelancer who is able to offer highly competitive rates due to my country's exchange rate.

I manage Google Ads and Meta for seven-figure Shopify stores, and I report on what actually shows up in your Shopify dashboard, not just what the ad platforms claim credit for. For the past five years, I have run paid media at an Australian performance agency, managing roughly AUD 2 million per month in ad spend across five ecommerce accounts, mostly retail and DTC brands. That is the scale I am built for. Accounts at this level have enough spend that small structural mistakes cost real money every week, and enough data that the answers are actually in there if someone knows where to look. At seven figures the problem is rarely a lack of traffic. It is that the reporting is not honest enough to show where the money is going. Sometimes it is creative fatigue nobody is tracking at concept level. Sometimes it is a feed issue quietly suppressing your best products. Very often it is tracking that broke months ago, so nobody can say which half of the budget is incremental. What I handle: - Google Ads: Performance Max, Standard Shopping, Search, feed optimisation and Merchant Center troubleshooting. - Meta: full funnel account structure, systematic creative testing with concept level reads rather than guesswork, audience and budget strategy. - Tracking and measurement: GA4, Meta CAPI, Consent Mode v2 and conversion accuracy audits. - Reporting: weekly and monthly reporting that ties spend back to actual store revenue. How I work: I do not make significant budget or structure changes without telling you first. You get a short proposal with the reasoning, then I action it once you are happy. Weekly updates, monthly deep dives, and a straight answer when something is not working. I have handled enough tracking breakages, attribution disputes and account security issues to know that the boring diagnostic work is usually where the money is. Who this suits: Shopify brands doing seven figures or more in annual revenue, spending upward of $20,000 per month, who want someone managing the account week to week rather than a one off setup. I take on a small number of accounts so each one gets real attention. If you are below that, I am probably not the right fit, and I would rather say so now than waste your time. Send me a message with your store URL, your current monthly spend and what is frustrating you about the current setup, and I will tell you what I would look at first.
