Work history
    Editorial Intern
     - 
    As the Editorial Intern at frockadvisor - a fashion and lifestyle website and app that functions as a discovery platform for independent boutiques across the UK and Ireland, as well as a digital forum for engaging fashion and lifestyle content - I wrote three articles per day for the website and app relating to fashion trends, London culture, and fashion and celebrity news. In total, I contributed 15% of all content generated on the website and app. I also received training in media planning and forecasting in order to deepen my understanding of how keyword research generates wider readerships and drives up website traffic and engagement. I was given the opportunity to pitch and execute several content ideas including 'Gucci Makes History' and 'Jaden Smith X Louis Vuitton'. I was fortunate enough to go beyond my editorial duties to cover London Collections Men and London Fashion Week. I broadcasted runway shows live using YouStream and photographed various catwalks and street styles. Finally, I sourced and edited all my own imagery.
    Senior Administrator
     - 
    In this role, I was positioned at the forefront of all internal and external communications, and was responsible for welcoming clients and ensuring the smooth running of all administrative operations at the school. I was required to do problem solving on a daily basis in a prompt and helpful manner over emails, on the phone and in person. I was able to keep a cool head, think on my feet and use my initiative to deal with various situations and complaints.
