I’m going to be so for real.
There are other people (and programs) who can teach you how to be a social media manager. As I type this, I can think of five off the top of my head. But to be honest, picking a teacher is like dating – sometimes you get it right on the first try. Other times, you need to date around to find “the one.”
So, who am I? Can I be your social media girl?
** If you’re more of a visual baddie, I curated this Pinterest board that will give you a proper overview of my “essence”

My name is Shaylee, not Shayla, Kaylee, or Shauna. Shaylee is spelled S-H-A-Y-L-E-E.
Why do I tell you this? Because once, I was confused for an actual SINGER named Shaleigh. Like, her security guard came up to me at a hotel and said, “Shaleigh, I need you to come with us.” The actual Shaleigh was on her way to perform at a stadium in Portland. That Shaleigh had the coolness that I one day aspire to have.
I grew up in Washington state, which is very gorgeous. I love it here because we have the ocean, evergreen forests, mountains, and city. I was raised by a single mom, who is a low-key cultured baddie. Like, my mom really had me jetting off to Europe starting at 15, and ya girl has been to 11 countries and counting since then. I love to travel and have my mom to thank for it (if you want to know, my favorite country has been South Korea so far).
For little 10-year-old Shaylee, she felt sadness when Megatron stabbed Optimus Prime through the chest.
I know everyone says, “I like movies,” but I really, really like movies. I remember watching Optimus Prime die in 2009’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and realizing that movies can make you feel things deeply. For little 10-year-old Shaylee, she felt sadness when Megatron stabbed Optimus through the chest. I’ve been high-key obsessed with telling my own stories since then.
Rapid-fire facts about myself include:
- I have a Shiba Inu, a rescue cat (breed is unknown), and two Holland Lop rabbits
- I have a very strong preference for pink and cute things. If something is not cute or lacks a cute essence, it’s just not for me
- If I lived in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I would want to be a waterbender.
Now that I’ve shared my inner self with you on a digital platter, let’s move on to the “professional” part of my About page.

A resume dating in back 2015
A resume dating in back 2015
I went to college in 2015 and graduated with a business degree and a certificate in social media marketing, customer service, and business management, and one other thing I can’t remember. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life until my professor told me during my second year of college, “Shaylee, we are starting a BETA social media management program this year. Would you be interested in helping us test the program?” I was like “Sure” and have worked in social media marketing since then.
Since 2015, I’ve worked as a freelancer, in-house social media manager, and at a marketing agency. I’ve held so many random titles, including “Social Media Manager,” “Head of Social Media,” “Social Media Director,” and so on. Whatever I was called, I learned how to create online communities and good content for industries ranging from commercial bakeries to a guy who wanted to sell his patented enema device (that was a weird one).
If you want a complete resume, check out my LinkedIn profile. Otherwise, I highly recommend reviewing my YouTube and TikTok profiles to see a consistent and professional demonstration of my social media management skills.
If I may be so bold, you need me. Here’s why
I feel like there is some shame surrounding the phrase “You need me” as a professional woman. But TBH, I really think you need me. Why?
Because you are an aspiring social media manager who
- Has already spent hours on YouTube and Google piecing together how to do a good job BUT you just don’t know how to put those pieces together
- Can create content but you don’t know how to build a social media strategy, measure and report results, and build a community around a brand
- Simply feels like “I have no idea what I am doing”
Sure, you could spend more time watching “How-To” social media management tutorials and posting questions to the r/socialmediamanager subReddit. But I want to challenge you here: Will you really feel more knowledgeable and confident in your skill set after just one week of this? One month of this?
I may not be perfect (my yard is currently so overgrown that it needs to be mowed as I type this), but I can guarantee that booking a mentorship call with me will fast-track your education and success as a social media manager. And I can guarantee that you will walk away with more questions answered in one hour than six hours spent on Google.
If you don’t believe me, here’s a quick testimonial from Maiya, a past mentorship student:
“Shaylee did a FANTASTIC job talking me through all my insecurities and weaker points. She provided such valuable insight into what a thriving SMM business can be and also hooked me up with Metricool which was a major GAMECHANGER. Overall I would 100% do a mentorship session with her again. Thanks Shaylee!”
