Work Experience

I haveoperated as a freelance writer in Johannesburg, South Africa for the last five years. My assignments have included product and service reviews, training manuals, news articles, interviews, background research, press releases, blog posts and sales copy for a variety of online organizations.

My assignmentd have extended to fields as diverse as internet gambling, pay-to-bid auctions, insurance, medicine, travel, IT, and HR.

I have a strongly entrepreneurial character and have worked exclusively on a telecommuting basis for the past 7 years. I have sound experience of SEO, HTML and backend scripting as well as a number of content management systems, the most recent being Joomla and vBulletin.

Having worked variously as a biomedical researcher, university lecturer, sales manager, marketing manager, motivational trainer, and communications manager, I have amassed considerable insight into numerous disciplines and remain eager to explore new fields.

In addition, I have travelled extensively, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Typically, I have been producing 8 to 10 x 450 word articles daily for my various clients and have a reputation for meeting targets and deadlines.

I am happy to supply samples of my work as well as URLs that may be visited for corroborative purposes if required.
