Huffington Post - Lifestyle & Parenting Contributor, 2015-2017
Drawing on my experience as a new(ish) mom with style savvy, I proposed and wrote instructional stories about women’s and children’s fashion specifically tailored to the website. I also style fun and trendy looks for the accompanying image galleries.

I took advantage of being part of a small, four-person team at the boutique firm, to gain experience in all facets of public relations from the strategic development of campaigns to writing impactful media releases, and executing special events for a roster of fashion, food, and lifestyle brands.
I managed accounts and performed media relations resulting in product placement and editorial opportunities for clients in the largest national media outlets. Other responsibilities included training and managing new staff and interns, and copy-editing all campaign materials produced in-house.
