For my internship this semester, due to COVID-19, it has been all remote either on Zoom for weekly check-ins or on Slack, a communication-based app used by professionals. Unfortunately, I have not been to any workplace events as I hoped but I was able to meet interesting people and potential mentors. In one of the online Zoom meetings, I did meet someone who was hired to change the company website and help out with the workload of video editing and content creating. We met and he asked us what we were good at design-wise and I found out that we have both used an animation program and he said he might need help thinking of exercises for his class to do. I definitely want to keep in contact with him as he looks knowledgeable and could potentially have contacts.
