I received my internship position by sending an email to my current supervisor Marla. I applied for several positions but her company was the first I applied to because of my professor’s suggestion. I wrote a cover letter in the email I sent, and I attached a pdf of my resume and a link to my online portfolio. I received a reply from her later that day and she requested that I call her the next day. I did not have an in-person interview, but I did call her that following day and she described to me what she did and the type of work I would do if I interned for her. She then offered me the job of being her intern and I accepted, and gave her the days I would be available.

Some of the projects in my online portfolio that my supervisor viewed after receiving my email. 

My role in the company is to help my supervisor work on projects that she as hired for by her clients. Some of the work I do includes creating new designs for menus, menu boards, and posters, Sometimes the client wants the old look of the material with updated text information like new items or price changes.

Some concepts I worked on for a poster promoting new salads added to the restaurant’s menu.
