At the moment, I don’t have a portfolio, but I’m actively building one and eager to gain hands-on experience in influencer and social media marketing. This internship is an opportunity I’m excited about because it will allow me to learn, grow, and apply my creativity in a real brand setting.

I stay updated on Instagram and TikTok trends by being an active, intentional user on both platforms. I regularly observe what’s appearing on my explorer page and for you page, track popular sounds, and visual styles, and pay attention to how creators adapt trends within different niches. Rather than copying trends directly, I focus on understanding why they work so I can adapt them in a way that feels authentic and aligned with a brand’s voice.

I’m drawn to influencer and social media marketing because it combines creativity, psychology, and real human connection. I love how brands can build trust and personality through authentic creators rather than traditional advertising, and how storytelling, humor, and emotion can turn a product into something people genuinely relate to and want to share. Social media’s fast-paced, ever-evolving nature excites me, and I’m especially interested in learning how data and creativity work together to shape content that feels both meaningful and effective.
