MAYA MICHAEL

Content Creator

Malaysia

I've been crafting content for over a decade, currently based in Kuala Lumpur. My expertise lies in digging into industry topics, whipping up different content like videos, articles, and infographics with just the right vibe. I'm all about following style guides and tailoring content for specific audiences, keeping an eye on what's trending. I also dive into keyword research, sprinkle in some SEO magic, and keep tabs on web traffic to make sure the content hits the sweet spot.

Also open to taking on freelance projects involving research, copywriting, copy editing, and proofreading.
