Content Strategist & Creator

About

Content strategy is evolving faster than ever. Companies are racing to create more content to position themselves as authorities and experts in their niche. The problem is — most of that content is AI-generated without a human in the loop. I'm that human in the loop. I create expert-led content (sometimes with the help of AI) to build authority, speak to humans by writing like a human, and get real results.
