While trying to start the first week of my internship, Cultural Corps was giving me trouble because I was never given access to my timesheet. A couple of weeks later, I gained access to my timesheet but before I could start my job, I had to do things like give proof I’m vaccinated, sign up for my direct deposit, sign up for benefits and complete my mandatory workplace training. When I finally started my first week of work, I was given a few tasks this week such as working on a graphic for the Brooklyn Ballet’s social media which is supposed to teach people how to tie a bun. I was also given other tasks to illustrate cartoons to advertise the Brooklyn Nutcracker performance and make videos using archival material. This internship is introducing me to the world of marketing and I’m genuinely happy to be a part of that.
