There haven’t been any events at my company so far and I have not met anyone in this internship that I would consider a role model or a mentor. To me a mentor is someone who brings out the best in yourself and pushes you beyond what you think you can accomplish. So I have not had that yet at my internship. I do admire the hard work that the founders of the company put into their business. They are very entrepreneurial and ambitious. With that said I do have a mentor and role model, who pushed me further than anyone. It was my senior project professor who believed immediately in my idea and through that idea I created my campaign in mediums that I thought I was not able to do. Thanks to my mentor my project was selected for the student. I believe in myself more than I have ever, I am confident in my work and enjoy it much more than when I started to pursue my Bachelor’s for one last time.

Because of my role model/mentor I am at Wedidit. They believe in me and trust me with many tasks at once. Today I was assigned the redesign the isights interests feature on the software platform. This feature gives non-profit organizations the option to see all the interests of donors or potential donors through their twitter feeds, facebook posts, etc. To me its a bit scary the fact that a company can gather information on a person without that person knowing but that is for another discussion. The interest feature can be a very long page depending on the person who might have many interests, and the original layout can be very confusing. I have to find a better solution for it visually; I finished two rough drafts versions and finalizing the two drafts by end of day Monday. I am grateful for the opportunity and that I have someone to look up to you.
