Hi, I’m Randa
As a qualified and experienced Social Media Manager, Copy-editor and Virtual Assistant, I have a love for words. I have always regarded the written word to be one of the most powerful forms of communication.
Trained by The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, The Publishing Training Centre and The College of Media and Publishing, I work with businesses to help improve and enhance their words or write for them, while respecting the essence of their style, voice, ethos and mission.
I help businesses gain back time by perfecting their copy, creating content and managing their social media channels, which in turn improves brand awareness, credibility and sales. This allows business owners to free up time to grow their businesses with the help of my specialist skills and expertise.
What you will receive from me – as well as my support, friendly ear and guidance – is efficiency, collaboration, consistency and a high-quality outcome.
