As a MBBS doctor, I have dedicated my life to helping others and providing quality healthcare services. However, I have also ventured into freelancing to reach a wider audience and offer my expertise to those who may not have access to traditional healthcare services. In addition to my medical practice, I am also a passionate social worker, working tirelessly to improve the lives of those in need and advocating for social justice.

I believe that health is not just about treating illnesses, but also about promoting overall well-being and preventing diseases. That's why I have taken on the role of a health carer, educating people on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making informed choices about their health.

Furthermore, I am a fitness educator, encouraging people to stay active and take care of their physical health. I believe that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind, and I strive to empower others to take control of their own well-being.

In all of my roles, I am driven by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. Whether I am treating patients in my clinic, volunteering in my community, or sharing my knowledge online, I am committed to helping others live healthier, happier lives.

I believe that by combining my medical expertise with my passion for social work, health education, and fitness, I can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around me. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others in so many different capacities, and I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the world.

I am new to Upwork. I am an experienced professional. Served about 35 years in  army and then in corporate sector for about 15 years at various positions in senior management. I had always had the natural aptitude of content writing from school life. Through out my life I have been actively participating in all professional and social activities. My passion of content writing coupled with my service/job experince and my Master degree in International Relations has given me an edge of wring on various subjects with ease and confidence. However , I have no record to fill in the profile. Yes verbally I can say what all I have contributed and capitalised on my skills. I need just one opportunity to present my self  and my work( if I am given a chance).

Pls guide me ,how to progress further.

Regards

Hyder
