Nearing the End
I’m getting to the end of my internship and it’s a little sad because I’ve been having such a good experience with my supervisors. The work has been fun, exciting, and a great practice for what I see myself doing in the future. This week, I worked on a few different things for my supervisors.… Continue reading Nearing the End
Week 8
It’s been a bit hectic for me this week with my internship tasks. This is due to me needing to create a graphic to post on Saturday, but only having 2 days to conceptualize and execute. This was a strain because I worked my retail job for 8 hours during those 2 days, so I… Continue reading Week 8

Along… Continue reading Planning More Content
Making Us Seen on Socials
Posts, Posts, Posts! This week I assisted in more designed social media post. I created a post for Facebook and Instagram talking about two animals my organization has; a popular horse and goat. It was a lighthearted post, talking about how protective the horse became over the goat getting a vet procedure done. I also… Continue reading Making Us Seen on Socials
