I transported recovery produce to regional food pantries to aid in the relief of hunger. During my summer internship, I created an Instagram for the non-profit, which gathered 50+ followers in one month. As an ending project, I created a "Best Business Practice Guide" to establish the appropriate dimensions for posting on all social media accounts. As part of the guide, I established the proper voice, topics, approved images, and hashtags. Additionally, I moved the organizations Pinterest page from a personal setting to a business page. I began the movement of using these social media sites as cross-functionally as possible to drive traffic to both areas to promote the organization in all aspects. Show less
