Hello! I am a young and aspiring writer who has been writing poetry, reviews for literature and other forms of media, web articles, web content, and other various forms since I was just a sophomore in high school. I took a break from Upwork for other career endeavors but I am active again now as a full time freelancer. I enjoy all types of writing, and I am open to any project available; whether it is proofreading, or writing an article for a specific product, or novel. I have two poetry publications: a short poem in 2006, a Teen Ink magazine issue, and I was published in a national anthology for amateur poets for Eber and Wein Publications, in 2011. I am a new graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on English through Cal State University Long Beach. I currently am a professional writer/editor/content creator for a financing company. I create their advertisements, write and edit their social media campaigns, and I also write and publish their articled and blogs for their website. I am SEO friendly, and I am currently managing multiple websites for them and their partnered companies, so I also am familiar with web editing and design. I have also tutored students in writing, helping them improve essays and grammar skills along my own journey through college. I am very proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. As I continue my journey in creating pieces to inspire and change the world, help students succeed, my goal is to help companies succeed by writing any articles for specific products, write poetry that eases the heart and mind in this chaotic place we call the world, review content of any kind, so clients have a good word for their products, and help everyone grow along side me. It is important for me to consistently empower the world through the power of the written word through courage, magic, and brain!

Bienvenue ! Je suis enseignante de français, passionnée par le domaine de l'éducation ainsi que par tout ce qui se rapporte à la rédaction (articles, livres, livres électroniques, histoires...), sans oublier la relecture des travaux pour qu'ils soient corrects sur tous les plans. Grosso modo, si vous êtes à la recherche de la plume rare, je suis à votre disposition ! Amoureuse des différentes structures des phrases, des mots, des lettres ainsi que des signes de ponctuation, je mets à votre disposition mon savoir-faire, en vue de satisfaire vos besoins professionnels. Welcome ! I am a French teacher, passionate about the field of education as well as everything related to writing (articles, books, electronic books, stories...), without forgetting the proofreading of work so that it is correct on all counts. Basically, if you are looking for the rare feather, I am at your disposal! In love with the different structures of sentences, words, letters as well as punctuation marks, I put my know-how at your disposal, in order to satisfy your professional needs.

I am fully bilingual, fluent in Afrikaans as well as in English and I also have an excellent grasp of the Dutch language. I hold, amongst other qualifications, a Proofreading and Editing Diploma, a BA & Honours degree in Languages & Linguistics, a Post-Graduate Certificate of Education and a CELTA diploma. Having always been a voracious reader, I have an extensive knowledge of various literary genres and writing styles and spend a lot of my time on creative writing myself. Although I have always enjoyed teaching a wide variety of subjects and students, my main passion is language. Therefore, I always return to the written word. At present, alongside my full-time position as Class Teacher and Grade Head, I am also editing and proofreading books, reports, documents and academic essays, translating and writing children’s stories on a freelance basis and writing articles for two local newspapers. I have over 26 years of teaching experience, having worked in a variety of full-time and part-time positions within the education sector in South Africa and the UK, as well as in a freelancing capacity. My years of working in an educational setting allowed for lots of opportunities to extend and sharpen my writing, editing and proofreading skills. I have taught students from as young as four years of age to adults. I also ran my own private tutoring company for five years in North London and Oxford in the UK. While I was doing private tutoring I, amongst other things, prepared students for 7+ & 11+ exams for entrance to prestigious private schools in London (UK) and supported students with a variety of academic subjects and learning difficulties, with specific focus on story writing and formal writing. During this period, I also successfully taught and prepared adult students for Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE) in the UK, supplemented by a variety of English Language teaching, with specific focus on correct use of grammar, fluency in spoken language and developing English written skills. Years of writing and proofreading educational and various other documentation, as well as creative writing from various genres, gave me the necessary skills to write, edit and ultimately deliver documents with precision spelling, punctuation and grammar usage. Contact me if you need: - your documents, websites or essays flawlessly and perfectly presented; - impeccable translating work done – English to Afrikaans and vice versa; - creative writing done or improved upon; - poems written or edited.
