I've held many different titles throughout my working life. I've worked in retail, as an English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher, a digital marketer, and a content editor.
I first heard about UX writing in Autumn 2020. UX design was already on my radar but UX writing? Never heard of it.

Adapting concepts and text into easily digestible content was already my thing—the prospect of adding psychology and product design was too good to miss out on. In 2021 I joined The UX Writing Academy by the UX Writing Hub.
