Sou jornalista com base na Bay Area (Calif.). Escrevo sobre cultura, raça, gênero, meio ambiente, finanças pessoais, estilo de vida e carreiras como freelancer. Me graduei em Boston University’s College of Communication (‘15) e, posteriormente, fui escolhida a dedo para participar do NerdWallet’s Writer Startup Program. Acabei trabalhando na empresa por quase dois anos, colocando minhas habilidades de jornalismo de serviço em prática primeiro na cobertura de ensino superior e empréstimos estudantis e depois como repórter geral de finanças pessoais. Aproveitei a oportunidade para escrever sobre as questões que afetam mulheres, minorias, pessoas de baixa renda e estudantes de primeira geração sempre que pude. Pioneirei novos formatos de conteúdo e até comecei uma série de perfis pronta para redes sociais sobre pessoas que quitaram dívidas estudantis. Cobri notícias financeiras e mergulhei em planilhas de 1,000 linhas, imergi no mundo obscuro das pesquisas pagas, conversei com presidentes de empresas de empréstimo e planejadores financeiros, bem como com defensores dos endividados e pessoas que lutam contra dívidas e rendas flutuantes. Meu trabalho já foi publicado no LA Times, Mashable, Business Insider, MarketWatch e USA Today, entre outros. Sinta-se à vontade para entrar em contato sobre encomendas de artigos, propostas de projeto ou se tiver alguma pergunta. (Email funciona melhor — ************)

The article provides a comprehensive guide to various online selling platforms, detailing their fee structures and operational models.
