Hello, my name is Mikayla Winters.
I am a freelance writer, social media professional, and virtual assistant based in New Mexico. I currently work as a part time virtual assistant and run my own eCommerce business that sells handmade jewelry, accessories and art. I joined Upwork with the hope of gaining more experience in my field, I see every project as a learning opportunity for me to grow, and hopefully help someone else grow as well.
Writing has always been a lifelong love for me. I’ve done it for as long as I can remember, and went on to gain experience with writing articles and blogs in both personal and professional environments, as well as writing reviews and product descriptions.
I am knowledgeable in editing and formatting, and extremely fluent in the English language.
I also have experience in social media marketing and management. My skills in this field include content creation such as social media writing and graphic design, marketing and promotion with tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, SEO, and a knowledge of how to engage with followers and gain an organic following.
Due to running my own business I have experience with eCommerce, and I am familiar with what it takes to run an eCommerce business.
I feel my greatest strength going into any new project is my adaptability and willingness to leave my comfort zone and learn new skills, closely followed by my organizational skills.
I treat every project as an opportunity to grow and learn something new, and I value ethics and delivering my best work above all else.
