Let's figure out where you're headed and how writing fits into that
Most people reach out when they're somewhere in the middle of things. You've been working in journalism, maybe dabbling in commentary or editorial content, and you're wondering what's next. Or you're thinking about pivoting entirely but aren't sure how to reframe your experience.
That's exactly the kind of conversation I built this around. Not generic advice — actual clarity on what your current work says about your strengths, what gaps you might need to address, and which direction makes sense for someone with your specific background.

Why bother reaching out in the first place?
Because you're probably at a point where you've read enough articles and watched enough videos, and none of them quite address your actual situation. Everyone's got different constraints — geography, prior experience, financial runway, personal obligations.
I work with people navigating journalism careers specifically in the Malaysian context, where opportunities look different than they do in London or New York. That means understanding local media dynamics, regional publication networks, and realistic timelines for breaking into different writing niches here.
