Small Group Dynamics
The Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising program has helped elevate my education and prepared me to be a fashion industry professional by teaching me skills across a variety of subjects. I have learned how to use Adobe programs such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator which require great attention to detail and patience. With those programs, I have learned to create visual projects that can help me in the fashion industry with mood board projects and content creation that I am able to apply to my internship and future jobs. I have gained technical skills in identifying different textiles and learning about the process in how they are manufactured. Having an understanding of textile processes is a useful skill that will help me with various aspects in the field of fashion. The program has also trained me in professionalism which is important as a businesswoman to be able to conduct myself in an appropriate manner.
Internship
This internship position is for social media and marketing specialist. The internship consists of creating social media content across all platforms, such as TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. I am responsible for creating posts on my designated days of the week. A huge responsibility of mine is working within a team, communicating post progress, and displaying creativity with posts.
With this internship, I hope to learn how to effectively collaborate with team members and strengthen my communication skills. Working remotely and building a brand image without physically working with people is an unfamiliar process for me. I also hope to learn about social media marketing as a whole because that is a potential career path I may continue to follow after the internship.
The way I will apply my education to my internship is by utilizing what I have learned with Adobe's editing software. Creating visuals and graphics will help me with creating aesthetic marketing posts for I'Kandi's social media platforms.
