WRITER PORTFOLIO
SUITCASE MAGAZINE
October 2019 - ongoing
I currently work as an Editorial Intern at SUITCASE Magazine and SUITCASE Media. I have gained experience in writing, research, press requests, liaising with PRs and working with CMS. After three months working solely with the magazine, I began working with the media agency, where I helped with copywriting, image-sourcing, social media, event organising, SEO content writing and production. As well as frequently contributing viral pieces for the online and print magazine, I now have my own weekly column, titled Destination Inspiration.
