Creative Writing | Ghost-writing | Audio Description Writing

Hey there! Thanks a bunch for swinging by! I'm your go-to storywriter extraordinaire, specializing in short and medium-length tales with a genre twist. Picture this: once we lock in the story's genre, whether it's through crystal-clear client input or some wild and creative brainstorming sessions, I dive right into bringing that particular genre's style and vibe to life. Approach to Storytelling: Now, let's talk about the art of storytelling. It's not just about the classic "Start-Middle-End" gig—oh no! I take storytelling to a whole new level, going beyond the traditional trinity. Crafting a killer story means paying attention to every nook and cranny of the craft. After all, no matter how exquisitely it's written, if the story lacks that special touch, your audience won't get that satisfying sense of completion. Fear not though, because with me in your corner, I've got your back when it comes to nailing that craft and structure. Academic Journey: Speaking of me, let's dive into my academic journey. I kicked things off with a Bachelor's degree in Mass Media (BMM), specializing in the captivating world of advertising. But wait, there's more! I took my intellectual game up a notch with a Post-Graduate degree in Philosophy, focusing on the brilliant minds of Aristotle and the mesmerizing realm of aesthetics. And hey, I even snagged a diploma in Indian and Western Aesthetics along the way. Phew, sounds like quite the academic adventure, doesn't it? Professional Experience: Now, let's rewind a bit and talk about my professional escapades. I spent a fantastic 18 months in the Marketing/Advertising department of an international car manufacturer, soaking up all the automotive goodness. But then, the allure of freelance scriptwriting pulled me in, and I've been rockin' it for almost four years now. And hey, that's not all—I've also got a treasure trove of experience as a profile writer for magazines and PR news articles. Oh, and did I mention that I flex my creative muscles as a part-time scriptwriter for the coolest emcees and anchors in town, covering both corporate and social events? Expertise in Audio Description: But guess what? The adventure didn't stop there! I recently had the incredible opportunity to further enhance my expertise by obtaining a certificate in FUNDAMENTALS OF AUDIO DESCRIPTION. You won't believe it, but I received this invaluable training from none other than Liz Gutman and Colleen Connor, who are esteemed leaders in the industry. These incredible individuals are at the forefront of driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of the craft of Audio Description. Talk about learning from the best! Your Curiosity Matters: Alright, alright, enough about me. Let's focus on you and your needs. Got any burning questions about my work? Don't hesitate to ask—I'm here to spill all the storytelling secrets and help you make magic happen! Oh boy, I'm absolutely thrilled at the thought of collaborating with you! Can't wait to dive into some incredible projects together!
