Welcome to episode #15 of the Career Pivot Podcast, hosted by Bec Sands. This episode is available on Spotify, Stitcher, iTunes and Google Podcasts, and if you enjoy it, I would love it if you could please subscribe and leave me a review.

In today’s podcast episode, I interview Kira Kozulin, a professional writer who works with businesses in the beauty, health and wellness space to create website, social media and newsletter content that sells. She is part of branding and website design agency Ivory Edit. Kira’s mission is to uncover the personality and stories behind the clients she works with, for sharing with the world.

 Kira spent 20 years developing and managing multi-million-dollar projects and funding programs in the public sector before pivoting into business. She holds a Bachelor of Economics from Monash University and certifications in project management.
