Kehinde in a few words

An unconventional tech-savvy structural writer with a flair for learning and research. In the last for years, I have spent about 4,000 hours researching and writing over 45,000 words of content. In the last two years, I have been mastering SEO-based content creation and developing digital marketing plans for small businesses.

I rarely pull away from a task by nature - I can block out distractions when working. I am a structural thinker and desire to understand what needs to be done ahead of time. Therefore, I expect to receive background briefings and a list of a project's criteria. Armed with this information, I swiftly determine what is and is not essential about an activity, event, or project. As a result, I always deliver on time.
