WHAT I'M DOING

Media & Video Production Intern, City of Holland, Michigan

Summer 2020, Summer 2021

My summers with the City of Holland consist of working on projects individually, from start to finish.

During my first summer, I worked on projects for multiple platforms. My videos ranged from the city's parks, to business spotlights, to hidden gems in Holland. Our socially-distanced summer pushed us to be creative with what projects we could cover.

This summer, I am focusing on developing the city's social media presence by expanding to new platforms, such as TikTok, and organizing the social media schedule for the year.

Videographer, University of Missouri Student Affairs

October 2018 - June 2021

During school semesters, I was a videographer for University of Missouri Student Affairs. The videos I make are used for promoting Mizzou's student programs and are posted on official Mizzou social media. Before I was hired as a part-time employee, I completed a semester-long internship in which I presented my projects to a panel of university staff. My most successful profile story was published on the homepage of Mizzou's main website and received over 95,000 impressions and 25,000 views. 

 

Strategic Communication Intern, Frank Stein Studio

January 2020 - May 2020

As a strategic communication intern, my main projects consisted of designing cohesive content to develop the Frank Stein Studio brand. The studio is used for casting for commercials and films. It also hosts acting classes for all levels of experience. I filmed, edited and produced profile videos of international actors and course recap videos to promote acting courses. To relaunch the online magazine, I redesigned the layout and updated the website. Occasionally, I sat in on castings and helped select which actors are presented to directors.

 

Marketing Intern, Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce

May 2019 - August 2019

As a Marketing Intern, I worked to develop new strategies to engage our 1200 members via email and social media. During weekly staff meetings, I reported weekly analytics that I monitored on all social media platforms. I contributed content to the monthly in-house magazine, assisted in facilitating Chamber meetings and events, and updated the website with member news. In my final project of the summer, I interviewed and produced six emerging business leaders videos for a marketing campaign. Working for the West Coast Chamber taught me how an empowering work environment can foster a successful and award-winning business.
