Chapter 1: Introduction to My Writing Journey
Hello and welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to visit my space. As of now, I've been actively writing for about a year and a half, and it's been a rewarding experience connecting with a growing audience. I wanted to share a bit about myself and my journey with you.
From a young age, I developed a passion for writing, exploring various platforms along the way. Though I’m only 22, I've been creating content for several years. I started with a WordPress blog and Instagram during my teenage years, and I currently contribute primarily to LinkedIn, Medium, and occasionally Twitter. I've even dipped my toes into making YouTube videos.
My areas of focus include self-improvement, student life, mental health, and fitness.
What Am I Up To?
In late 2022, I proudly completed my undergraduate studies in Journalism and International Relations, graduating with first-class honors. By late 2023, I’ll be heading to the UK to pursue a Master’s degree at one of the world’s leading universities. It’s a mix of excitement and nerves for me.
Currently, I’m engrossed in several passion projects:
- Writing on Medium
- Contributing on LinkedIn
- Ghostwriting for clients
