I am a Sociology graduate from Newcastle University. I’m currently working as an SEO copywriter for Loved Brands, where I take on responsibilities including writing blogs, proofreading emails and other content, improving SEO using analytics and keyword research, and creating website copy. I have experience writing copy from working as a writer at Arcadia, where I published articles on some of the topics I studied in my sociology degree at Newcastle University. 

I have also written business copy when I was working as a digital marketing assistant for Fayamask, a fire safety company, where I would work on product descriptions for Amazon listings and write content for the company website.
