My primary goal as a freelancer is to help promising startups, enthusiastic entrepreneurs, and rising small and medium enterprises with their bookkeeping, accounting and financial reporting needs. From time to time, I also accept exciting projects on article writing, editing, copywriting and proofreading.

I am a natural communicator, explaining issues in detail but with emphasis on the big picture. I enjoy meaningful discussion and brainstorming, live presentations and teaching. I've also found my domain in the areas of academic and business research. Aside from my skills as an accountant, writer, and researcher, I also excel at analytic thinking, logical reasoning and reading comprehension.

If you're looking for someone with a lot of energy and enthusiasm to take on a project, then you've probably found her. Let's talk over coffee or tea! 

WRITING AS MY PASSION
I am a seasoned writer, campus journalist and Editor-In-Chief from my academic years. Even though I pursued accountancy as a profession, I have not lost touch with my natural proclivities in language and writing. I have received several academic awards on essay writing, editorial and opinion writing as well as oratorical, declamation and speech competitions. As a dedicated researcher, I have also excelled in writing business plans and conducting business research and feasibility studies. In 2014, I took the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication), scoring a high rating of 970/990, or General Professional Proficiency Level. 

I previously worked for a Dubai-based online magazine as a freelance editor fromUpgrade to see actual info. Years ago, I owned and managed four blogs which I have taken down already because of my increasing responsibilities and assignments as an accountant. My personal style as a writer is to write briefly and elegantly: focusing on the substance of the feeling, sentiment, idea or issue I want to impart on the reader. I am a huge fan of alliteration, rhythm and antithetical themes in creative writing. As a minimalist technical writer, my goal is to deliver the best value in the fewest words possible.
