In 2019, while in my 4th year of optometry school, I decided on a whim that I would self-publish a poetry collection (even though it was something I had never done before). Over half a decade later, most of the poems in it make me cringe (as they should because my writing has improved). Still, that intersection of creativity and the willingness to execute things, even when they’re unfamiliar, has defined much of my career.
Currently, I work as a communications specialist at Fintech Unicorn, Moniepoint, using data to tell human stories about the company and the millions of people who use its products through articles, reports, videos, and other forms of media. At Moniepoint, I’m responsible for implementing the company’s tone of voice across all touchpoints, editing and managing content that’s published on its global blog,
Before this, I was a marketing and content strategist for SaaS, B2B, and B2C brands across multiple spheres. I worked as a Marketing and Creative manager at Varsityscape, executing a marketing strategy to introduce the company’s transition from a MOOC to a cohort-based learning platform to its users. Before this, I was a social media and blog writer at Mobicure, a health tech company, where I implemented a content strategy that led to increased engagement on its social media platforms.
Outside of my 9-5, I‘ve consulted on various writing projects for tech and tech-enabled companies, including Powernow, Zeno (parent company of Lagosride), Salesngine, Soundmap, and others. From UX and website copies to blog content and pitch decks, you’ll find me wherever clear communication needs to happen.
Oh, and I’m also a licensed optometrist with a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from the University of Benin. When I’m not working, I love watching anime, listening to music, and writing about life on victorywrights.substack.com
