I worked in the Event Planning department where my priority was planning for the school's annual Celebrating Student Achievement Day, particularly recruiting volunteers to make the day successful. I was also invited to present my thesis research at this same event and worked on both priorities simultaneously. Work included graphic design, honing time management and organizational skills, office duties, maintaining spreadsheets and file systems with consistency, constructing persuasive emails, delegating work between myself and another intern, and reaching out to various student groups to garner volunteer interest/raise awareness and calling campus services to action (such as asking to displaying the event flyer on the school TV monitor).

I gained valuable experience in digital marketing and search engine optimization. As stated in my written piece linked below, specific areas where I gathered skills include: WordPress experience, Google Analytics training, Google Search Console training, SEO, link building, 301 redirects, creating custom graphics for social media, writing effective alt and title tags, image optimization, setting up and migrating web content, strategic planning for marketing campaigns, became steeped in business culture, and experienced the daily functions of a marketing firm.

Pitched events to reporters, drafted blogs and press releases, attended events and took photos and video, made graphic images for social media sharing, learned to use MeltWater Press to track media coverage, assisted the communications and political team, and more.
