"Any experience truly is valuable experience. I knew I wanted to do social, but like I said, I didn't always have those opportunities for social media internships at the time. So just taking (that initiative of) creating my own content or asking to shadow or talk to the social person at my internships helped me...Whether it’s internships, volunteering, doing your own social media, shadowing…all (of that) can really help you get to where you want to be. You just have to put in that hard work and time. So making genuine connections—not just reaching out and asking for something—is huge, getting any experience you can get at any capacity is super valuable, and also just working on your own personal growth during that time is huge as well."
