Writing and social media work:
New York Magazine / Vulture
My focus at Vulture for over 1.5 years has largely been growing our presence on Vulture's Instagram, as well as sustaining and increasing traffic for our new NYMag subscription service through Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms.
I program all tweets, posts, and IG stories for all our Vulture accounts, and our companion comedy coverage on our Splitsider accounts. Some social programming for Vulture's news and features that I've done is below:

Vulture’s awards and festival studios are legendary. I produce in-real time IG stories for these events, as well distribute the photos and videos from our studios to social channels.
Vulture's IG also has IG takeovers and BTS IG stories that we coordinate and schedule with talent.
