About

Managing the online presence for a business is a challenging role that I relish. As Digital Content Coordinator I improve my copywriting impact by monitoring the industry landscape, researching and setting SEO keywords and implementing an effective online marketing strategy independently. By maintaining media relations through press releases, and creating engaging multimedia content for social media and e-commerce site, I utilise my creativity daily. From implementing new procedures and workflow management in this role, alongside monitoring Google Analytics and Campaigns, I've developed my organisation and project management skills further. I have a variety of publishing, editorial and administrative experience. Due to my background in Journalism, I thrive working to strict deadlines, and enjoy the fast-paced media environment. I'm experienced writing engaging copy of different lengths - whether a short blurb, in-depth feature or professional correspondence. In my spare time I work as a Freelance Journalist, contributing videogame reviews for website Nintendo Insider.
