In honor of working hard to put BrittanySky.com on the map, we’re profiling the team who is behind the scenes – creating, brainstorming and developing the site you love!

First up,  I turn the mic to myself (Alexa) and answered a few questions to get this ball rolling.

• How did you get started writing for BrittanySky.com ?

  I started writing for the site about 6 months ago.  Brittany asked if I’d be interested in contributing to the site. I was a little hesitate at first because I’m not a writer but it is something I’ve always been passionate about. This was my opportunity to share my thoughts, so here we are 6 months later. I’ve had the satisfaction of watching the site grow and people actually enjoy what I’m writing.

• What did you go to school for ?

  Fashion Marketing. I went to LIM College for Merchandising and realized it was totally not for me. I switched to Marketing so that I could use my skills outside of fashion. I interned for a lovely fashion designer for a while which confirmed that fashion was not for me but I did love the start-up environment. From there I took a leap to something different and I interned at a music venue in Brooklyn for a semester. It opened my eyes to the entertainment industry which I knew I wanted to continue to be apart of. I hit the ground running after graduation with the incredible job I have now freelancing for two start ups that are directly related to entertainment, social media and creating awesome events.

• What’s one thing that surprised you in your path up until now?

  My path seems like it’s just begun. I graduated college exactly a year ago and my journey since has led me down a great path. I have creative freedom, my voice is heard and I’ve met some amazing people along the way. I think the most surprising part are all the connections I’ve made thus far. I’ve met some pretty cool cats including all of the awesome writers on this blog. I surprised myself, and I look forward to continue to.

• What do you want to be when you grow up?

  Happy. That has always been my answer since I was young. I don’t have an exact answer or job title but I think following your gut and sticking to your beliefs will take you places unexpected. So far, following this little mantra of mine has taken me places I never imagined I would go.

• Tell me something weird about you.

  I’m sure I have a lot of weird quirks but something off the top of my head, I can’t eat Oreos without dipping them in peanut butter. Something I picked up from my good pal Lindsey Lohan in the classic movie, Parent Trap.
