As I wrap up this amazing internship journey, I’ve been reflecting on how much I’ve grown—and how much I love this experience. I’ve discovered a real passion for storytelling and content creation, and I know this is just the beginning for me.

One of the biggest areas of personal growth has been confidence. At every event I attend, I feel less shy and more empowered to show up fully. When I first started, this was one of my biggest challenges. I’m extremely introverted, and creating content often requires you to tap into your extroverted side—to chase moments, ask for interviews, record videos, and put your face out there without hesitation.

If I compare one of my very first takeovers—like the S’mores Fun event—I was too nervous to be on camera. I asked my friends to appear in the videos and do the interviews for me. The idea of my face showing up on the official Stetson Instagram made me panic a little. But fast forward to my final takeover (BRASA at USF), and I was excited to show my face and voice. I felt ready to take the lead.

Now, I not only show up—I ask people to join in, to be interviewed, to record fun trend videos. That confidence is so crucial for creating engaging content, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

I’m incredibly grateful for this internship and everything it’s taught me. And the best part? I’m not stopping here.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been selected by Morgan to be the next Social Media Lead for Agency 83! I’m beyond happy and honored to take on this role, and it will be my main focus in the upcoming year. As I transition out of my position as President of BRASA—where I recently received the Top Hatter Leadership Award for President of the Year—I feel confident and ready to embrace this new chapter.

Excited for what’s next… and so thankful for what’s been. 💚
