Summary
Hi! I'm a second year Torrens University student of Chinese Medicine. I've got a professional background as a story-driven writer and author.
I'm experienced at generating words that work for business and government, developing personal articles that provide interest, insight and value, and unpacking hard-to -grasp subjects to deliver them to readers in accessible ways.
I would be so grateful for the opportunity to exchange skills and learn from you as I make my way towards my dream of becoming a TCM practitioner.
