I’m Abeeha Fatima*l, a Consultant Dietitian and Senior Content Writer & Copywriter.
I’ve been working as a Clinical Dietitian for over 3 years. I started remotely, and after a few months of completing my degree, I joined Herbiotics, a well-known supplement brand, as a Consultant Dietitian. At Herbiotics, I got the opportunity to handle a wide range of responsibilities.
I started by managing customer queries and providing personalized diet plans. After a few months, I was promoted to Social Media Manager, and then to Content Writer. In that role, I handled scriptwriting, copywriting, creative designing, product listings, website content, and I also managed their Daraz store. So basically, I was a multitasker there.
In parallel, I also worked on Herbiotics’ s sub-brand Daily Wellness, which is based on essential oils. For that sub-brand, I handled content, scriptwriting, copywriting, and product listings on their website.
After that, I got an opportunity at MRQT Solutions, a marketing agency based in the UAE, where I worked as a Senior Content Writer, Marketer, and Reviewer. There, I handled scriptwriting, copywriting, website content, product listings, and SEO blog writing.
So, this is the shorter version of my journey.
That’s Great to hear about you. Wish you all the very best.
