Who is Franka?
Franka Dervishi is an Albanian writer of several disciplines. Born on 5 November 1995, this thoughtful wallflower rewords feelings on paper since her particular blessing enlightened her identity.
Ever since I realized my passion for writing, I couldn’t quit envisioning, creating, exploring, reading, and feeling the power of words in stories, scripts, articles, and, presently, their influence in the business world.
As weird as it sounds, a complex mind always gives mixed signals. Therefore, when everyone assumed I would be studying literature, I’ve pursued an entirely different direction for my academic background. After successfully graduating with a Master of Science in Economics, I guess I matched my heart and mind in the digital marketing domain.
Presently, I can proudly distinguish myself as an energetic Content Marketing Specialist with over four years of experience in developing compelling content for various audiences across multiple media platforms.
Three main curiosities about me.
How did you start writing?
This is the most common curiosity I’ve been questioned about during my writing experience.
AND… before you ask… It all started because of my secret diary!
A gifted writer doesn’t dream of fireworks and unexpectedly finds out the vocation in life. Fearful for my secret diary’s safety, I converted my day-to-day activities into short stories with fictional characters. Thanks to an extended vocabulary from countless books, I was thrilled to feel an inner call to a challenging mission such as writing a novel. Since that moment, I’ve never stopped creating, exploring, listening to others’ experiences, meeting, and sensing the energy of unknown characters.
Scriptwriting is an added vibrant color to my fiction writing palette. During Tempus Project, I mastered the scripts techniques with my professional mentor, and ever since, I’ve been writing scripts that hopefully one day might touch the widescreen.
After pursuing my academic studies and internship, I got confident in further evolving my writing and representation skills in the digital marketing domain. Continuously getting top-rated feedback from content team leaders, individual business people, and professional digital marketers, my confidence increased in writing website content, blogs, press releases, bookcases, and other professional requirements. Luckily, businesspeople, programmers, and even algorithms have incorporated words in their strategies to complement their significant numbers.
People say a good actor plays all kinds of characters, but it’s unusual to hear the same for a good writer. The difference in both occasions is simply an individual preference. We can act and write in many functions, yet we all decide to maintain our main profile. After experimenting in several disciplines, I admit I fancy writing in many courses. As far as it comes naturally to my creativity or benefits my career, I look forward to authoring it.
We’re all aware of the typical stereotype about writers. Deemed as dark introverts who usually get moody pursuing their precious loneliness, people tend to associate terms and individuals all in one by fading their identity’s originality. I don’t know how or what happened to frame writers like that, but I do know that isn’t me.
Expressing in-depth heartfelt sensations, feeling many different characters, bringing stories to life, and writing dialogues that the readers can feel to the bone doesn’t necessarily denote sipping a bottle of wine or smoking on a rainy evening.
Peace and focus are directly correlated, but my inspiration is always out there, happening, ready to be found. Therefore, being friendly, talkative, embracing an open-minded attitude, standing trustworthy with a high level of integrity, and developing cross-cultural awareness are thoroughly some must-have qualities of a good creator.
Writing is a passion, but my life doesn’t revolve around fantasy. Unquestionably, I’ve had challenging days like many other scholars or coworkers. I’ve had to adapt to the circumstances proficiently and improve my comprehension of various occurrences. Accordingly, I would like to underline remarkable communication skills and highlight the abilities to harmonize strict and tolerant manners, improve daily interactions, multitask and be a self-driven, goal-oriented person.
Most of managers and colleagues, have considered me as a diplomatic team member who combines professional communication and decision-making with a positive attitude and innovative approach to a more satisfactory collaboration.
I would describe myself as a curious learner, motivated by opportunities, competition, and a lover of the fiery life.
Regardless of my vocation in fiction stories, I’ve stood in the labor market for quite a few years. I’ve initiated my first freelancing projects working independently for other students completing their essays or thesis to further move on to a part-time customer service position.
As the only alternative that corresponded to my timetable to attend the master lessons regularly, I must say that a customer service job taught me as much as a secondary school. That’s where I realized the difference between esteeming the client’s demands despite the matter-of-fact regulations.
On the other hand, during my economics studies, I could master a range of theoretical knowledge about business management, leadership, data analysis, and presentation skillfulness. Participating in Tempus Project (a regional collaboration among universities) and winning through competitive audio and video production projects enhanced my scriptwriting skills and cooperation with international students.
Simultaneously, I have attended a flexible part-time internship at a digital marketing agency where I mastered analyzing the insights of popular social media platforms. Additionally, I could assist in creating marketing strategies, descriptions, content, and likewise blog articles.
As someone entirely aware of her gift of words, I couldn’t be happier than now by expanding my proficiency as a content writer in two international growth-stage companies that compete with contemporaneous digital marketing projects.
The primary goal of the wide variety of composed writings stands for developing content that accurately reflects a company’s standards. My daily tasks comprise developing a content strategy, writing new posts, editing and proofreading articles in various formats, being responsible for style and format consistency across all content, completing deep research on different niches according to the requirements, modifying HTML code, and working with teams across the company (and across countries).
Nowadays, I can proudly list my expertise in working with MS Office, G Suite, WordPress, Shopify, and so much more. As a curious individual with a flair for IT, I am constantly expanding my competence in utilizing contemporary marketing programs and platforms.
