Office Assistant Intern: Technology and Engagement
The experiences I’ve had during my time at the City Hall directly relate to my major in Management Information Systems and Marketing. I collaborated with constituent service representative from the Councilman’s Office to bring technology solutions into non-profit initiatives such as Alianza Latina and Latin American Book Fair celebrated during the Hispanic Heritage month, while demonstrating my ability to blend technology with community engagement. Using graphic design tools like Adobe Illustrator and Canva, I effectively drove digital engagement for cultural events in Philadelphia, showing my proficiency in visual content creation and effective marketing. Furthermore, developing a user-friendly website for alianzalatina.org using Wix.com underscored my expertise in optimizing online platforms, aligning perfectly with the importance of a strong online presence in today’s business landscape. These experiences have equipped me with the skills needed to navigate the intersection of technology, creativity, and management, setting a strong foundation for my Management Information System and Marketing majors.
