About Me
I graduated with a degree in English and worked as a radio broadcast journalist for 5 years, before trying out other positions in the field last year, after which I decided to "retire" from journalism. I've since been freelancing.
I can write anything if given the information or content, or if it's a field I'm interested in then I would be willing to research on my own with funding provided when needed. I'm also open to voice over jobs, which I think I should be rather good at, given the 5 years I was doing the news on radio.
I'm an outdoor enthusiast, with hiking being my forte. So far the most amazing achievements are Mount Kinabalu, Mount Rinjani, the Annapurna Base Camp and Everest Base Camp.
I also love most other outdoor activities like kayaking, caving, ziplining and so on. You could say I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
