Social Media Specialist

As StyleBlazers first-ever Editorial Assistant, I worked closely with the Managing and Senior Editors
to create engaging content for the sites 45 million monthly visitors, and helped the site find its
audience. Through managing the sites social media (Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram),
contributing 4-5 articles daily (totaling over 450+ stories), researching story ideas, conducting
interviews, and attending industry events, I played an integral role in growing the site to be one
of the top online fashion destinations for women of color.
My biggest project while there was our 50 States of Style tentpole. I interviewed over 50
fashion bloggers from around the country, wrote fun copy for each of their profiles, and
compiled their best photos into individual galleries. The 50 States of Style tentpole helped put
StyleBlazer on the map in the digital fashion content space.

LookMazing, Inc. is a budding startup based in San Francisco, CA. It is a fashion and beauty
social network for individuals to showcase their personal style through photo looks that can be
easily shopped and shared. I worked closely with the founder as the Editorial Director, and
focused mainly on building relationships with bloggers, writing features, creating email
marketing campaigns, as well as marketing materials for some of LookMazing's many events
around the Peninsula.

Email marketing

Zuvaa is an online African marketplace for designers around the world to sell their Ankara-based
handmade designs. I was part of the original founding group for Zuvaa, and worked with two
others to launch the site. I handled vendor relations, site inventory, and I occasionally created
email campaigns for the site when we had flash sales.
