Giancarlo Valdes
Senior Content Writer/Strategist
Hello! I began my writing career in 2012, and that kicked off a nearly decade-long journey as a freelance journalist, writing numerous features, reviews, and interviews. I recently completed a two-year stint at Meta (formerly Facebook), where I was on the editorial team writing content about Meta Quest VR as well as updates on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. And now I'm once again looking for freelance work or FTE. I can help out with blogs, social media, thought leadership posts, and more!
