My journey in the professional world commenced in the year 2013 as a content writer while I was completing my fourth semester in English translation at the Indonesian Open University.
During that time, I realized that merely translating text from my lesson book would not suffice to enhance my vocabulary. Hence, I decided to challenge myself by writing and translating English text. This led me to venture into the field of content writing, enabling me to achieve my goal.
