Hi, I am Mutiat Adejoke Orunsholu from Nigeria and i joined upwork on the 23rd of March 2024. 
- I am a virtual assistant with expertise in data entry, SEO optimization and Lead Generation. I am also a very good photo editor with core experience in video editing. I love copywriting, proofreading and editing and i look forward to also rendering my service in the customer service section. 
- I hope to excel greatly here on upwork as i'd like it to be my sole source of income which would mean i'd have to get gigs backtoback. it is a crazy competition here but i trust myself to find my way to exceling. 
- I'd like to upskill myself in SEO content writing and do not mind paying an expert to be put through on it. 
- What inspires me is the ability to prove myself in a sea of international prospects and competitors. Boosts my self-esteem knowing that my knowledge is not limited to my locality. i love that i am able to solve problems for people home and abroad. 

i look foward to connecting with amazing people and i am ALWAYS happy to collaborate, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help with upwork (i'd be happy to share the little knowledge i already gathered from my short time here), and if you think you can help me with getting more gigs (by collaboration / referral) i'd be more than excited to get acquinted with you too.

I really do look forward to making friends here and i hope we can be of great value to one another. 

Have an amazing day ahead!

I am semi-retired from being an Engineer but still want to keep my brain active so I have a small business in the house construction industry, providing support for permitting and all of the steps required befor the builder actually starts putting concrete on the ground. 

I am very good at what I do, not so good at finding people to help me with my work.  Hoping I can learn to find people who are good at what I need help with, and who will share in my excitement in getting things done well.

I am inspired by difficult things, I love it when people tell me I will not be able to accomplish something, and I leave tire marks on their back!

Greetings esteemed members of the Upwork community,

My name is Mahnoor Yaseen, and I am a dedicated psychology student with a fervent passion for writing. Whether it be crafting essays, producing content, or composing poetry, I bring a wealth of enthusiasm and expertise to each endeavor. Fluent in both English and Urdu, I possess the ability to articulate emotions and experiences in a profound and captivating manner.

With a background in psychology and a flair for creative expression, I intertwine the complexities of human behavior with the artistry of language to create compelling narratives and forge meaningful connections. My proficiency lies in translating intricate emotions into eloquent prose and poignant poetry, thereby fostering personal growth and enriching communities through the power of words.

Despite hailing from a conservative background, I am determined to cultivate my talents and pursue my passions through platforms like Upwork. Writing is not only my profession but also my life's calling, and poetry serves as both a hobby and a source of inspiration. I am eager to leverage this platform to further hone my skills and earn a modest income.

As a newcomer, I have encountered challenges such as the inability to send proposals to clients due to a shortage of connects. Seeking guidance, I have turned to the Upwork community in hopes of acquiring knowledge and overcoming these obstacles. I am eager to learn and contribute to this vibrant community, and I am grateful for the opportunity to grow and thrive alongside fellow professionals.

Thank you for welcoming me into this esteemed community, and I look forward to embarking on this journey of learning and growth with all of you.
