Experience
TikTok-- Influencer
January 2022-present
-
After two years of protesting being a part of the TikTok world, I created a fitness account. Within three days, my fourth video reached over 1.7 million views. From there my page exploded, and I currently have over 82,000 followers, over 1.1 million likes, and over 10 million views.
-
I used my previous experience with social media to construct an effective way to grow my brand to over 82,000 followers in just over a year and secure multiple brand endorsements.
-
This opportunity has enhanced my skills with technology, brand marketing, social media trends, and algorithms.
-
Working with brands from various industries has allowed me to gain personal experience with the industry standards and negotiating my contracts and endorsement deals.
-
It seems unorthodox to include my social media presence as work experience, but it has truly required hard work and dedication to grow my brand to where it is today. I am proud of the brand I have created.

My time at Yale Law was spent toward the end of the COVID-19 era, so I completed this program as an online program.
