Experience

McNeal has been an avid lover of beauty and fashion since she can remember. Before writing professionally, she created numerous blogs where she would share product recommendations and essays about style. As an adult, her musings have been published in Refinery29, NYLON, Untitled, and Parle Magazine.

She went through puberty in the mid-2000s when inclusivity in beauty and fashion was scarce (to say the absolute least), and because of that, she has tried just about every brand under the sun while trying to find products that work for her.

Education

McNeal attended Fordham University, where I got my bachelor's degree in Journalism and double minored in Television and Communications. While at Fordham, she launched the Fordham TV club and ran a talk show called 'Study Break.'
