While pursuing my BA in Finance, I balanced balance sheets by day and storytelling by night. As Editor-in-Chief of TrailTales Zine, I led a team curating travel and culture pieces, and even snagged the National Travel Essay Contest title in 2021. My love for meaningful travel led me to intern with an ecotourism NGO, where I created campaign content that blended sustainability with strong messaging. On campus, I published a travel column in the student journal and headed the Extra Curricular Committee, managing over 50 volunteers across writing, elocution, and debate events — equal parts leadership and laughter. I was also an active NSS member, organizing community events like quizzes and marathons to support NGOs. And just to keep things interesting, I interned as a copywriter too, crafting punchy pamphlets and ad copy for major businesses — proving finance brains can have creative flair.

As a Senior Tech Writer, I worked closely with editors to write, review, and polish content so it stayed clear, helpful, and true to the brand. I covered everything from phone reviews and antivirus tests to VPN comparisons, web hosting guides, and more — if it was tech, I probably wrote about it. I also helped keep our publishing data organized and up to date, and supported the team with research for author interviews. Most importantly, I always put the reader first — if something was confusing, I made it simpler. My goal was to turn complex topics into content that made sense for everyone.

I’ve written SEO-packed guides for over 30 destinations, crafted scroll-stopping itineraries based on real-time travel trends, and even chatted with locals to uncover hidden gems you won’t find on TripAdvisor. But my secret sauce? I bring a tech and finance brain to every journey. Whether I’m comparing flight deals like a VPN showdown or breaking down budgets with fintech precision, I turn travel advice into smart, savvy storytelling. From contributing to Skyscanner’s 2024 Travel Trends report to turning long-form blogs into newsletter gold, I’ve ranked among the top 5 most-read authors — all while keeping the brand voice as consistent as airport security lines.

From May 2020 to May 2023, I worked as a tech ghostwriter, where I turned heavy topics like antivirus software, VPNs, web hosting, and website security into clear, digestible content that actually made readers say “aha!” I crafted keyword-rich review articles and deep-dive guides that didn’t just perform well—they ranked #1 on SERPs and earned me a spot among the platform’s elite tech writers.

I regularly updated content to keep it accurate, squashed grammar gremlins before publishing, and worked hand-in-hand with editors and the writing team to maintain a high standard of quality across the board. In short, I made tech talk human — and Google loved it.
