When I was 10, I made a profound discovery – asking my parents for things via handwritten notes proved to be about 80% more effective than asking them in person. They said I had a natural way with words that was convincing.

Over a decade after, and I have finetuned that knack for words so well, I even took a professional course accredited by the University of Stellenbosch Business School. Now, brands pay me to write to their potential and existing customers and I make a living off it.

It’s been eight years of writing professionally, and my work has been recognized by Cristal, Creative X, LAIF and Pitchers Awards. 10-year-old me would be impressed.
