In 2025-2026, I was fortunate to secure an internship with the Claflin University AmeriCorps Program. I currently serve as the social media intern for the organization’s official page. In this role, I am responsible for creating engaging graphics, posting content, and helping to strengthen AmeriCorps’ social media presence on campus.

This opportunity has been an exciting learning experience for me. My main goal as an intern is to connect with our audience in a meaningful way while representing Claflin’s mission of service and leadership. Some of my daily tasks include designing flyers and social media posts for upcoming events, responding to comments and messages from followers, and promoting student involvement in volunteer activities.

So far, I have completed several creative projects that I am proud of. One of my favorite ones was designing a Veterans Day graphic that honored and thanked soldiers for their service. I have also helped post photos from community service events and coordinated with students to make sure these events run smoothly. Through this internship, I have learned more about teamwork, communication, and how to use social media to inspire others to get involved. It has been a rewarding experience that continues to help me grow both professionally and personally.

In 2025–2026 I secured another amazing opportunity as a social media intern for Claflin University’s Academic Success Center. In this role, I manage and create content for the center’s official social media page. My main responsibilities include designing creative graphics for upcoming events, engaging with followers, and helping build the Academic Success Center’s online presence.

This internship has allowed me to combine my passion for communication and creativity while also promoting student success across campus. One of my favorite parts of this position is developing new ways to keep students motivated and informed. Some of the projects I’ve completed so far include Holiday graphics as well as managing our weekly themed posts such as Motivation Monday, Wellness Wednesday, and Fuel Up Friday. These posts encourage students to stay focused, take care of their mental health, and maintain positive energy throughout the week.

Through this experience, I’ve learned how powerful social media can be in connecting with students and spreading encouragement. I’ve also gained valuable skills in digital design, time management, and campus outreach. This internship has not only helped me grow as a communicator but has also deepened my pride in being part of Claflin University’s mission to uplift and inspire its students.
