\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did you enter this career?  <\/strong>
\nI recently completed my third year of Communication and Media Studies here at 杏吧原创. When I was applying to University I knew I wanted to come to Ottawa, and I knew I wanted to do something in Communications as I have always loved writing. Therefore, when I was accepted to the Communication and Media Studies program I accepted on the spot. When I was conducting my co-op job search for the summer this winter, I was hoping to find a job that would help me develop my communication skills as well as gain experience working with media and websites. When I got the job offer to work at 杏吧原创 in the Web Services department, I knew it would be a great experience in my field, and the right fit for my summer work term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where else have you worked?  <\/strong>
\nAside from working in various jobs throughout high school, once I moved to Ottawa for University, I completed my certifications to become a swim instructor. I worked at a swim school that specialized in conducting private and personalized swim lessons for almost two years. It was a very rewarding job which I loved, but once the pandemic hit, I knew it was time to move on. I briefly went back to working retail in January 2021 at a wine store called Magnotta as I was awaiting my start date for my position here at 杏吧原创 as a Web Communications Advisor. It was a great position to keep me busy during the pandemic, thankfully wine is an \u2018essential\u2019 that will never be shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some of the technologies you have used along the way?  <\/strong>
\nMy program has allowed me to explore and gain experience using platforms such as Canva for infographics as well as Google Drive, Zoom, and MS Teams. I am already gaining more experience with WordPress and hope to gain even more comfort throughout my time with the web services team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best things about your program?  <\/strong>
\nThe best thing about my program is how many options and avenues you can take. I have been lucky enough to have taken so many different types of courses in order to find out what I am passionate about. I have taken a variety of communication courses that reflect how many options a career in communications presents. Similarly, I have taken many courses that reflect my own personal interests and values, such as human rights courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have some exciting projects you are working on right now?  <\/strong>
\nI am currently working on familiarizing myself with our website templates and using WordPress, and I am also working on a newsletter outlining the basics and resources of web accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What music are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI love listening to music and spend most of my day with music playing in the background. I love to listen to Spotify playlists, such as the Discover playlist in order to find new music. Some of my favorite artists are ROLE MODEL and Dominic Fike, but I am always listening to new artists and music that I come across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you reading at the moment?  <\/strong>
\nI am currently reading the book American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. It is about a woman and her young son fleeing Mexico to escape a violent drug cartel, and the aftermath and their experience as immigrants in the US. It is a very captivating fast-paced story that I definitely recommend. Since completing a stressful year of online school, I have been able to get back into reading for pleasure and hope to read a lot more great books this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do outside of school\/work to amuse yourself?<\/strong>
\nOutside of work I love being active. Whether that is going to the gym, doing yoga, or going for hikes. I love being outside, enjoying the nice weather and the beautiful scenery we have in this area. The pandemic has also given me a new hobby with puzzles. When it’s not nice weather outside, I like to listen to podcasts as I work on a puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exciting plans do you have coming up in the next year? <\/strong>
\nThroughout this next year, I will continue to work and gain experience in the co-op program, and I will finish my undergraduate degree next fall. Hopefully, COVID-19 will get better over the next year and I will be able to safely get back to traveling, as it is normally a huge aspect of my life. I grew up traveling as I spent my formative years living in Thailand. Once I graduated and my parents moved overseas again to Guatemala, I got to explore that part of the world on my breaks from school. Some of my other favorite places I have visited have been Nepal, Bali, Turks and Caicos, and Cambodia. I hope to get to explore some of the Mediterranean and Europe once I graduate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
