Cemoh Profile

Summary

Amy is talented at taking a 30 minute conversation and turning it into professional yet personable content.

Bubbly and outgoing, she has always loved connecting with people and sharing their stories. As much as she loved working in HR; after becoming a mum in 2019, it made her completely rethink her career and what she wanted her life to look like. Amy took the plunge, quit her decade-long career in the legal profession and started freelancing in 2020.

After taking on all kinds of content writing and copywriting work, she found herself constantly drawn to her lifelong favourite topic: people. Amy loves working with start-ups, established business owners and corporate teams for authentic storytelling and showcasing what makes their business unique.
