Über mich
I am a passionate writer (and aspiring author) and editor/proofreader (seriously, I am super nit-picky and pedantic when it comes to grammar and spelling, all in a good way of course 😉) with a creative mind, and I want to leverage my skills to make a positive change in various sectors of society. I enjoy learning new languages and reading literature voraciously, and I have a strong and versatile skill set (I have worked as a teacher, journalist, content marketer, and editor), a keen eye for detail, and excellent communication and research skills. I am an outgoing, highly empathetic, and dedicated individual who enjoys working individually and with others. I genuinely care about the colleagues I work with and want nothing more than to do the work I love for a company that is driven to make an authentic change in the lives of people, especially when it comes to mental health and education. I also enjoy teaching and am qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language.
