Small Girls PR’s Post

Happy Sunday! As 2024 continues to unfold rapidly, I find myself eager to further enhance my expertise in the realms of social media and writing. I am keen on collaborating with like-minded individuals and forging connections that foster mutual growth! I want to shine a spotlight some of my past experiences: During my college tenure, I served as a Technical Writing Intern for the African American Studies Minor Program under the guidance of my professor. In this role, I managed the program's social media presence and authored articles spotlighting notable figures in African American history. Post-graduation, I embarked on two enriching internships. The first involved working as a podcast intern, where I contributed to weekly podcast productions while also managing social media platforms. Subsequently, I transitioned into roles encompassing event coordination and social media management, culminating in a paid internship focused on social media. Additionally, I had the privilege of interning as a journalist for Trill Mag. Though challenging to balance three internships within a year, I found the experience immensely rewarding, fostering substantial personal and professional growth. As I continue on this journey, I am eager to expand my knowledge base and embrace new opportunities for advancement. I welcome any connections or collaborations that align with these aspirations! #SundayMotivation #CareerGrowth #SocialMediaSkills #WritingSkills #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment #InternshipExperiences #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalGrowth #OpportunitiesAwait #Collaboration #Connections #Aspirations #CareerJourney #SocialSunday
