About

I'm Amanda, a freelance writer, typist, and a translator with a passion for crafting clear and engaging content. I've built a versatile skill set over the years, allowing me to adapt my writing style to suit a variety of audiences and industries. Working remotely has allowed me to hone my self-discipline and time management skills, ensuring that I always meet deadlines and deliver high-quality work. Beyond freelancing, I've gained valuable experience in retail sales and administration, where I developed strong organizational and communication abilities. I also have a background in junior management within the restaurant industry and have worked as a hotel hostess, which taught me the importance of excellent customer service and teamwork. On a personal note- I'm naturally curious, adventurous, and always eager to take on new challenges. I believe in pushing boundaries, whether it's exploring new topics in my writing or seeking out innovative solutions in my work. Overall, I'm passionate about using my diverse experience to contribute effectively in any role I take on.
