Internships

I was a paralegal intern. My responsibilities included: new client intake, deposition summaries, medical chronologies, and document proofreading.

I worked as a translator for my internship. I was in charge of translating social media posts, translating health articles, and emails.

My internship responsibility was to create a new logo for Estudio Cebra to use with their new business Tienda Cebra. They gave me all the information I needed, their needs, and their expectations for me to create any logos. Once created, we reviewed them about 3-4 times until they were exactly what they wished for.

I was a social media and digital marketing intern, which means I was responsible for creating and publishing digital content that was released across numerous social media platforms. My daily routine included ongoing communication with my supervisor as we completed different projects. I utilized Adobe Premiere Pro to create small films for Mike, a multi-platinum recording music artist. I was also responsible for creating content for his social media pages, most often on TikTok.

The title for my internship is art promotion & senior designer assistant. . I was responsible for assisting senior designers in sorting out the design style and strategy, conducting daily management affairs with the department manager, and providing market development decision analysis to the organization through data modeling and analysis.

I was the Michigan Secretary of State Language Access Intern. I provided French translations for voting eligibility and voting information pages for the secretary for the SOS website. I also Put together a marketing campaign to promote the use of Self-Service Stations by non-English speakers across the state of Michigan. This included preliminary research, meeting with community partners, and putting together a presentation and proposal for the implementation of the campaign across Michigan.

I was a gallery guide and an events intern! I worked in the museum from day to day helping guests and answering questions about the art, and for facility rentals and museum events I would assist with set up, throughout the event I would help guests and ensure that equipment was working, and then take down and clean up. I would also help design floor plans for different events based on their individual needs and I would assist in keeping tasks organized for each event.

I learned that just because being an activist is usually an unpaid job, doesn't mean it should be. The largest skill that I built upon throughout this fellowship was my technological skills. Most of my work is remote, and prior to this fellowship I struggled a lot with anything having to do with technology. I feel much more confident with my skills to be able to successfully function as a remote worker.

My favorite part of the entire process was getting to witness every court proceeding whether it was something as simple as an illegal concealed weapon or something as extreme as murder. It was such a unique and unfathomable experience that I will truly remember fondly for the rest of my life.
