About Me

I'm a former journalist based in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, who's been freelancing for the past 7 years. I've written copy for advertisements/marketing campaigns, handled social media accounts for businesses and organized music and gaming events. I'm passionate about the things I do and my work ethic reflects my passion, I usually go the extra mile to ensure the copy I write and the events I organize are the best they can be with the resources at hand.
