🌱 I am currently working on building my small business, The Loop Vintage, selling carefully-sourced, hand-picked vintage clothing. Previously, I worked as a copywriter in a marketing agency, and as Head of Content for a popular gardening and lifestyle website. I was able to grow and progress in this role, gaining responsibility and managing a small team of writers.🌿 I have experience in SEO and can drive results using keyword research, effective meta descriptions and impactful link building. If you want to improve your online presence and outreach, I have the tools to improve page rankings. My work has seen me use a variety of related software such as Google Analytics and Surfer SEO.🌳 As well as having a high level of written communication and a keen eye for detail, I am practically minded. On top of my content experience, I have worked on a variety of theatre projects, both in the costume and props departments. These skills combine to show that I am a logistical problem solver and can achieve excellent results, even under pressure.🌲 Also, in case you work internationally - I am fluent in Spanish and hold a C1 DELE Diploma.
