About

For 15 years, I've been the person behind the scenes making things work. As an Executive Assistant and Operations Coordinator, I've supported CEOs through high-growth phases, managed chaos so they didn't have to, and built systems that made entire teams run smoother. I know what it takes to be the right hand that leadership actually relies on. As a Content and Campaign Manager, I spent 12 years helping Momspresso — a platform of 2 million users — grow, engage, and convert. I managed campaigns, newsletters, partnerships, and a team of 10. The result? 50% platform growth, 25% increase in email CTR, and 40% boost in community participation. Now I bring both of those worlds together as a Copywriter and Content Strategist. I write for coaches, wellness brands, D2C businesses, and EdTech companies that want copy that actually connects — not copy that sounds nice but does nothing. Email sequences. Landing pages. Sales copy. Content strategies. Words that make people feel understood, trust you faster, and take action. What makes me different? I'm not a writer who learned marketing. I'm an operator who has run campaigns, managed teams, hit targets, and supported C-suite leadership — and I write from that depth of experience. I understand brand voice, I understand business goals, and I understand what it takes to earn attention in a crowded inbox. 📌 What I can help you with: ✔ Email campaigns that get opened, read, and clicked ✔ Landing pages and sales copy that convert visitors into buyers ✔ Content strategy for coaches, brands, and course creators ✔ Executive and operational support for founders and growing teams EXECUTIVE & OPERATIONS SUPPORT #Executive Assistance #C-Suite Support #Calendar Management #Travel Coordination #Stakeholder Management #Event Coordination #Operations Management #Process Improvement #Cross-functional Coordination #Confidential Documentation COPYWRITING & CONTENT -Copywriting -Email Copywriting -Content Strategy -Content Marketing -Campaign Management -Email Marketing -Newsletter Design -Ad Copywriting -Landing Page Copy -Brand Messaging TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY -Mailchimp -Zoho CRM -Asana -Microsoft Office -Google Workspace -Canva -Notion -Microsoft Teams -Netcore -ChatGPT / AI Tools 📍 Based in Bengaluru | Available remotely | Open to full-time, part-time & freelance projects
