Freelance Writer

Dear Client,

Are you Looking for a Creative Writer?

· I have more than 15 years of experience in compiling letters and emails to corporate clients, healthcare providers and professionals in the medical scheme insurance industry.

· My experience includes in-task training to consultants to improve their writing skills and qualify assessment of written communication.

· In the non-profit industry I spent one and a half year compiling content for newsletters, social media posts and creating funding proposals for grants and donations. Not only did this generate funding for these organizations, but also great awareness for their causes.

· I am skilled in both Afrikaans and English. Writing in both British and American English.

· My passion for writing directed me to take part in publications which included the following:
