Ocean Drive is South Florida’s leading lifestyle media publication. Most notably known for their monthly magazine profiling businesses and celebrities, the publication also hosts weekly events with local hospitality. I was brought on as an editorial writer and reporter where I covered events and interviewed celebrities. I quickly began working on social media strategy, event coordination, and photo shoot production while remaining a writer.
