Whilst studying abroad in Washington, D.C., I undertook a Communications internship. I wrote and uploaded engaging social media posts on Smithsonian Global’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram platforms three times a week, focusing on Smithsonian Global projects and events. I also worked on analytics, using Hootsuite to collect information from the three sites and input this into reports, graphs and PowerPoint presentations for office and wider use. Working on a video series documenting the Smithsonian’s global work, I helped decide which stories would make visually effective videos. I experienced how the organisation and coordination of ideas behind the scenes really allows a video to have a powerful impact, and was excited by how a video can convey a story in such an effective and emotive way. Ease with Dropbox, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word was vital to this internship, as well as the ability to work as part of a wider team.
