My part-time position at Tiny Horse during my semester off college provided an alternative form of education and inspiration just when I needed both. I was not only able to gain experience in Content Production, Human Resources, and Administrative Planning but also learned so much through observation about marketing at a unique, hybrid firm. Specifically, I coordinated duties for productions (releases, paperwork, scheduling, etc.), assisted the Client Services team on photo and video shoots as needed, and planned internal company events.
