Summary

I'm a creative writer and storyteller with a First-Class Honours degree
in English Literature and Creative Writing. I've had the chance to
work in a range of roles—from student support to retail—that have
helped me develop strong communication skills and a sharp eye for
detail. Writing and editing come naturally to me, whether I'm
crafting engaging content, supporting others, or problem-solving
behind the scenes. I'm always eager to learn and grow, and I love
finding new ways to bring ideas to life through words.
