A few years ago,

I was in the middle of what some would call a "quarter-life crisis". I’d always had a way with words—the person who could turn “meh” to “wow” with a sentence or two. I loved writing things people couldn’t help but pay attention to. But back then, I kept those skills tucked away like a candy bar you tried hiding from the kids.​

​

Then one afternoon, I decided I wanted to eat that candy bar. Immediately. I clicked open a new Word document and drafted my first freelance pitch, crippling self-doubt be damned. That single leap of faith launched me into a career I didn’t even know I’d been building for years. Since then, I’ve learnt how to make words do more than just sit prettily on a page.
