I’ve been writing on and off for large parts of my life. Until late 2020 it was always on the fringes of other jobs and activities. Since December 2020, I’ve been writing full-time as a content marketing manager at Animalz. I’ve published many articles at Animalz and with my productivity…

Saent is slowly coming back to life after several years of wandering in the wilderness.
