During my time as a Social Media and Engagement Intern at The Conversationalist, I supported the team in managing and growing their social media presence - particularly on Instagram. Toward the end of my internship, my main project entailed creating a comprehensive presentation deck for the team, leveraging insights from our social media analytics to guide ideas for our future social planning.

One of my key responsibilities during the internship was curating timely current events each week and transforming them into interactive Instagram Stories designed to spark conversation among TC’s Gen Z audience. My goal wasn’t just to inform, but to create a space where followers felt encouraged to share their perspectives, react to real-world issues, and engage with one another. Using Canva, I designed each post in alignment with TC’s social branding to ensure a cohesive, recognizable, and visually engaging presence across the platform.
This experience taught me how intentional design and thoughtful storytelling can foster digital community, amplify youth voices, and turn social media into a tool for dialogue rather than passive consumption.
