I had the pleasure of working and mentoring Mikalay during her internship with Up in the Chair. Mikayala’s main responsibility was as the social media manager. In that role she created posts not only for the internship but to cover the time in between cohorts. Over the course of the semester, she grew in her learning objectives: stress management, public speaking, time management and IT. She was very participatory during meetings and often contributed with insightful commentary. Creative, open-minded, collaborative, and thoughtful are all attributes Mikayla possesses and brings to her work.

Social media content creation is one of Mikayla's strongest skills, as seen through her work this summer on UPTC's social pages. Her research of numerous topics, from Pioneer Day to Eid Al-Adha, and her eye for creating aesthetic and engaging posts, is conspicious. But what sets her apart is her patience and resilience showed throughout this internship. She aided me numerous times when I needed it for my own social media fundraiser, and she did it with a smile on her face. She is an incredibly hard worker, and I am so glad I was able to collaborate and learn from her this summer.
