Hi, I'm Fatima (pronounced Faa-tim-ah)! 👋🏽
I fell into the world of professional communications in 2019 and honestly haven't looked back since. What started as curiosity and a passion for writing has evolved into a genuine desire to craft messages that connect, engage, and drive results.
💡 Some highlights:
When it comes to work, I'm all about variety. I love making complex ideas simple and engaging, whether that’s through strategic planning or creative copywriting.
My experience spans both the strategic side (building communication plans, managing organizational change communications, aligning teams through branding) and the creative side (copywriting for email campaigns, social media, websites, and everything in between).
Having lived, worked, and studied internationally – from Vancouver to Seoul to Barcelona – I bring a global perspective to my work and thrive in collaborative environments where I can adapt my voice and style to meet different audiences and business objectives.
