About Me
I’m a published content writer with experience across wellness, TV/film, & pop culture. My writing blends introspection with research, voice with vision, and clarity with soul.
Here's what I bring to your project:
-Health & Wellness Writing: Research-based essays and listicles based on themes of mindfulness, fitness, health, and emotional self-care.
-TV & Pop Culture Analysis: character studies, fandom-based essays, and listicles based on TV, film, animation, music, fashion, and anime.
- SEO Blog Content: Keyword-rich, research-backed, CMS-formatted content (WordPress, Yoast)
-Editing & Proofreading: Light editing, outlining, and tone-matching across personal or branded writing
-Tone & Voice: I specialize in writing clear, structured, and purpose-driven content that earns trust and drives decisions. With a background in editorial and feature writing, I know how to connect with readers by blending informative storytelling with reader-focused strategy that translates from entertainment news to E-commerce sectors.
I’ve worked with platforms like Screenrant, NowWithPurpose, Soul & Salsa, BlackGirlNerds, and CBR, and I previously ran my own wellness & self-help blog rooted in emotional depth and sovereignty. If you need writing that’s confident, structured, insightful, intentional, and polished—I’d love to work with you.
