Skills
I'm offering
I am a multiple-award-nominated blogger with a Bachelor's degree (graduating with a first-class pass in both my subjects, double-majoring in English and History) from one of South Africa's top universities where I was awarded a place on the Dean's Merit List. As well as several years' experience as a blogger, I write content on various subjects and have had a few long-term clients that have worked with me regularly for over two years.
While I specialise in blog, magazine, and newsletter articles, I have considerable experience writing longer, more detailed texts. In addition to shorter articles, I have been involved in helping draft various company policies and handbooks with great success.
As well as writing, I've been involved in proofreading and editing texts ranging from semi-formal newspaper articles to formal proposals.
Quite separately from my writing and editing work, I have over two years' experience as an administrator and personal assistant heavily involved in activities ranging from assisting Board and Managing Directors to paginating files and managing several people's diaries.
