The first job she lists on LinkedIn is in 2010:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucia-graves-9355a614

Here's her Twitter:
https://twitter.com/lucia_graves

She also writes for Glamour Magazine.

This is an over-promoted, overpaid nitwit who knows NOTHING about the real world. We have to be careful what we take as legitimate writing. A lot of it is just crap, mechanically spewed out by these fresh out of school know-nothings who are only interested in making connections for their next undeserved rung up the ladder. There is a more famous older writer by the same name, so they might be related.

She should be ashamed of herself, but clearly she isn't. For what it's worth, Twitter did a pretty good job of taking her to task for this article, which I was glad to see. Of course, she brushed it off as comments from "BernieBros".

I never denied that demographics may play a role. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #15

Well....that was awkward. The first post of the thread kinda blew your point to bits. msanthrope May 2016 #6

White women also voted for Bernie. Nice try at using the horrid "white male" as an excuse. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #13

the only demographic Sanders leads in is white males. msanthrope May 2016 #19

I choose to characterize it as false. Sanders won white women in WV. Epic fail on your part. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #21
