Name: Tracy
Area of expertise: Copywriting and Content Writing
When & why did you join Get Ahead:
I joined Get Ahead in August 2024, five years after becoming a freelance writer. I wanted to take the opportunity of working as part of a team and connecting with new colleagues and clients.
Working with Get Ahead was suggested to me by another local freelancer and came highly recommended.
What did you do before you joined Get Ahead:
I have been a freelance writer for five years, working on websites for clients based all over the world.
Previously I have worked in a range of roles, industries, and locations, including as a travel agency manager in London. I have also been lucky enough to travel widely and lived in Australia for a year.
Prior to that I completed a Bachelor of Science in Sociology.
Career highlight to date:
Building a successful freelance business has really been the highlight. Due to two previous spinal operations and post-surgical complications, I was once considered unable to work, but careful management of my condition and working from home has turned my life around.
Another highlight was being approached by a renowned blogging expert to write for her sites. It is also extremely rewarding when an article I have written places highly in Google Search – such as one that outranked Money Saving Expert.
Plans for the future:
To keep writing for business and pleasure; continue travelling, trying new things, and meeting new people; and publish a novel one day.
