If you’re looking to learn more about me, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a self-starting social media marketing expert with over six years of experience, plus ten years of experience as an award-winning multimedia journalist with clips published in national and local outlets. I specialize in TikTok marketing; I eat, sleep, and breathe TikTok, and I'm always up to date on the latest trends and strategies. When I’m not managing my work accounts, you can find me hanging with my 26,000 followers. During the summers of 2023 and 2024, I accomplished a lifelong goal to become a teacher. I created and taught a two-week curriculum on journalism and social media for groups of high-achieving high school students through Summer Springboard at Columbia University’s Barnard College. During the summer of 2026, I will teach a new course on Digital Marketing and Social Media. I earned my master’s degree in magazine, newspaper, and online journalism from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. I have a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Japanese from the University at Buffalo. My combination of journalism and social media experience allows me to be analytical, calculated, and adaptable in my work. If you’d like to hire me for freelance work, please don’t hesitate to reach out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1585841709613-8VI8U7IDCP5MLG8KR6F3/IMG_5776.JPG About - When I’m not writing … I try and spend as much time as I can outdoors. I’m an avid outdoorsman and have summited Mt. Fuji in Japan and even flew in to the remote Ruth Glacier in Alaska (pictured) for a quick photoshoot during a 10-day backpacking trip. From hiking to snowboarding and fly fishing, there’s nothing I enjoy more than being outdoors. It’s my goal to visit every National Park in America. When I can’t get outdoors I enjoy playing the drums (my band opened for The Goo Goo Dolls once), cooking and reading immensely. And perhaps above all, I enjoy cheering on the Buffalo Bills. If you want to talk outdoor adventures, football or favorite books, give me a follow or drop me a line! https://www.maxkalnitz.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1060ca61-a1c3-482e-b245-c1ce8281d2a9/bw+headshot+.jpeg Home https://www.maxkalnitz.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-02-08 https://www.maxkalnitz.com/photography daily 0.75 2020-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581393640542-9UJYS0WHTJD7P3L4H46Q/elton+john+2+%281%29.JPG Photography Elton John; Buffalo, NY (2018) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581393642062-LL6KO5YI1R7VQ0MBW57M/elton+john+2++2+%281%29.JPG Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581393642549-JIWIAIYQ7N19XB3TR1OH/elton+john+3++2+%281%29.JPG Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581393806725-58WLFOTYBMX12FV99GNB/IMG_2591.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581394108854-3QW43Q3YKFZXBQD99870/IMG_1796.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581394109791-7ULXQPILI2RFVCH3A66K/IMG_0170.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581393806845-9ISKSUE46V79ZQ21V6KO/IMG_1479.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581395217036-7VRB9B01GJ6UTV49L51W/IMG_1397.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1581395216431-8ZE2V04ZTPUYBQDE8JEY/IMG_1386.jpg Photography https://www.maxkalnitz.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2022-09-26 https://www.maxkalnitz.com/portfolio/brooklyn-magazine monthly 0.5 2022-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/a13bb1ac-51f5-44da-b757-239073ab590f/IMG_6796.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/c4db7f56-daa2-43d3-becc-3afe5755fa46/IMG_6130.JPG https://www.maxkalnitz.com/portfolio/insider monthly 0.5 2021-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3ed91dea6c273a7a82ab64/1624893021847-DZGQGDENO974RRLM0LIT/Records.jpeg Writing - Insider - Sam Mellish/In Pictures via Getty Images Black-owned record stores are disappearing while vinyl sales are skyrocketing.
