Kelly Lin: Bringing ASOS to UCSB

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

Kelly Lin is a second year here at UCSB and is helping bring the stylish fashion of ASOS (asos.com) to campus! She is originally from Hacienda Heights, California and is double majoring in Global Studies and English. She is one of the newest Brand Ambassadors to the international clothing brand and is helping to revolutionize the UCSB fashion scene!

1. How did you hear about the Asos opportunity? 

I have bought items from their website previously, so I signed up for their student account, which gets you a 10% discount for every purchase! So, when they were looking for brand ambassadors for school, they mass emailed everyone. I thought it would be a great opportunity and signed up. I did similar internships over the summer unpaid, so why not do what I love and get paid for it! 

2. How would you describe the  UCSB style? 

UCSB style is the epitome of the Cali style – laidback and boho. I love how it’s all about the beachy waves and super effortless chic look.

3. What does being a campus rep entail? 

It’s my job to get the brand out there and known to the student body, so I try to give out free merchandise, which gives a chance for people to ask questions about the company! Also, I have to post frequently on all my social media sites which allow people to go see ASOS for themselves and the cute items they sell! 

4. What is your favorite ASOS brand? 

New Look, River Island and the ASOS brand are all very affordable and super cute!!

5. What is your favorite part of being a campus rep?

I love looking at all the clothes and styling everything to rightfully advertise ASOS! I also love receiving the free merchandise to give to the students and planning events for the students sponsored by ASOS! (Look out for a big one soon!!)

Check out ASOS at asos.com or use the hashtag #asosucsb on Twitter and Instagram for information and great deals! And be sure to look out for Kelly on campus when she passes out awesome free gifts from ASOS themselves!

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
