1) What are some skills/competencies (NACE) that you developed during your internship?

I was exposed to a lot of programs throughout my internship: I became proficient in Hootsuite, and developed a basic to intermediate understanding of SquareSpace, Shopify, Google Analytics, Campaign Monitor, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Illustrator, Facebook Ads and Analytics, Google Shopping, Gs1 (GTIN), and Canva.

2) How does this experience connect to your future career goals?

This internship exposed me to a non-profit organization that is mission-based, but also sells a product. Beautiful Day provides job training opportunities to refugees through the creation and selling of handmade granola. I was able to learn about various aspects of marketing and social media in a non-profit and product-based organization, as well as all parts of a company (operations, sales, etc.).

3) What advice would you give to other Holy Cross students?

Put yourself out there, and ask to be a part of projects that interest you!
