I am Elijah Jackson, a seasoned journalist and content writer passionate about storytelling and digital media. My journey in journalism began with a strong academic foundation. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Media Studies from the University of York, USA, followed by a Master’s Degree in the same field from Royals University, USA. My academic pursuits honed my journalistic research, reporting, and digital publishing skills, laying the groundwork for my professional career.
My professional experience includes working as a Digital Writer at SportPesa from December 2020 to December 2023. In this role, I was responsible for researching, writing, and editing news articles on a wide range of topics, including local news, politics, the economy, culture, and human interest stories. My focus was on creating engaging and informative content that resonated with English-speaking audiences. I developed a keen understanding of audience engagement, tailoring content to meet the needs and interests of readers while ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Since January 2024, I have been a Content Writer at Microsoft. In this role, I am committed to producing timely and relevant content by staying updated on current events and continuously refining my writing skills through workshops and training sessions. I also collaborate with language experts to ensure cultural relevance and linguistic accuracy. My dedication to quality is further demonstrated through my active participation in feedback sessions to enhance the quality of my articles.
In addition to my writing expertise, I have developed skills in AI training and data annotation, which I aim to leverage in contributing to the development and enhancement of AI language models. My objective is to combine my journalism experience with my growing knowledge of AI and digital media to create impactful content that bridges the gap between technology and human storytelling.
I am fluent in English, my native language, and have advanced proficiency in French. My diverse skill set, including content writing, editing, SEO, and collaboration, allows me to excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments where creativity and strategic thinking are key. I am eager to continue expanding my knowledge and making meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of digital media and AI.
