Beginning at the end of May 2023, I worked as the Social Media and Marketing Assistant at the Nanaimo Museum. In my role, I was responsible for creating content for our Facebook, Instagram, X, and Tiktok accounts, as well as moderating the comments left on our posts. In this role I was able to gain invaluable experience using tools such as Canva, Later, Capcut, Trello, and Google Adsense. I was able to run the accounts fully for three weeks from the middle of June to the beginning of July, which included producing content, moderating comments, and communicating and directing other members of staff. I was also able to gain experience giving presentations and talking to guests within the museum, with an emphasis on building excitement for our summer programs. This was my first foray into social media management and marketing and it was really incredible and unique that I was able to be given that level of autonomy so early on. It has given me a great base of knowledge and confidence to build on moving forward.

• My role was to help any customers with their tech needs, as well as computers, televisions, gaming systems, really any technology that we sold
• I had to be well versed on what’s new in technology and I have great people skills
• I worked within a relatively large team in order to give the customer the best experience possible
• Technology is an area of personal interest so I found it natural to remember facts about the devices and products
• This also shows that I’m able to solve problems in a variety of ways while juggling time restraints

• I helped the local school district roll out over 700 new devices for student use
• This involved provisioning and labeling each of the devices
• I worked with everyone in the I.T. Department and went to the district every day after school to make sure the devices were ready
• This shows that I follow through on projects and other things that I set my mind to
• It shows that I’m willing to learn and that I work well in a team environment
• I met many deadlines, working hard to stay on track and on schedule
