Professional Experience
A multimedia, full-package features writer, I specialize in fashion journalism. I am a fashion enthusiast and merchandising minor gone professional. With two years experience in fashion blogging, I launched a professional site that has gained over 1,200 users in just two months. My understanding of the industry, gaining powerful story sources, interactive social media management, Web design knowledge and expertise in online media are all displayed here. Furthermore, I am a fashion-specific freelancer for 5280 in Denver, the largest magazine in the city. I have also had pieces published about fitness, social issues/social justice, consumer products and profiles (personal and business). Above all else, I love a good story!
