WRITING PORTFOLIO
Welcome
My name is Megan. I’m a Fashion + Lifestyle Journalist and E-commerce Writer who I graduated last fall from Condé Nast College with a Master's in Fashion Media Practice - Journalism. I'm currently freelance writing for publications, like The Psychology of Fashion, House of Desiderata, and Rethink Beautiful while acting as the Administrative Studio Intern and Junior Digital Officer at an interior design firm called Windsor Smith Home. While there, I handle scheduling, coordinate special projects, and liaise with the press on behalf of our CEO. With the valuable experience I have gained, I believe that I'd be a strong candidate for an editorial position and am determined to bring my talents to a magazine publishing in London, Los Angeles or New York.
