To find and reach out to influencers, I would start by researching relevant creators on TikTok using hashtags like #mexicanfood, #easyrecipes, and #groceryfinds, as well as utilizing influencer marketing platforms such as Upfluence, Heepsy, or HypeAuditor to filter influencers by niche and engagement. Once I identify potential influencers, I would check their bios for contact emails or media kit links. For outreach, I would send a direct message or email introducing SOMOS Foods, expressing appreciation for their content, and offering to send a free gift package of our Mexican rice, beans, and sauces. In the message, I would ask if they’re interested and request their shipping details via email or a secure Google Form. After securing their information, I would confirm their comfort with the collaboration and clarify any content expectations before proceeding with shipping.

During my tutoring experience, I collected feedback from students to understand what was working and what needed improvement. After reviewing survey responses and informal feedback, I noticed a common theme students wanted more interactive learning methods rather than just explanations. I analyzed the data, grouped similar responses, and adjusted my approach by incorporating more visual aids, quizzes, and hands-on problem-solving exercises. As a result, engagement and comprehension improved significantly, and students reported feeling more confident in their learning. This experience reinforced how important it is to not just gather feedback but to actively analyze it and make meaningful changes based on what people need.
