Sarah Salam
Trainer
I'm a proud Iraqi who has been trained by one of the greatest copywriters, Alex Cattoni. Copywriting is a skill that changed my professional life!
I came from a medical educational background and was encouraged to seek a career in the medical field. However, pursuing copywriting opened a world of opportunity for me. I currently work at LG, an international company, and have the pleasure of mentoring others into the world of copywriting with Iraqi innovators.
I am thrilled to help Iraqis achieve their dream and seek unprecedented career opportunities.
