What I liked
During the summer of 2019 I worked remotely with Jamie Gelbtuch at Cultural Mixology; my role was mainly drafting and designing a short ebook on topics related to cultural competency for marketing purposes. Throughout the process, Jamie was not only a manager but an invaluable mentor during one of the most challenging and isolating periods of the pandemic for a rising college senior seeking career development. While we worked on the project, Jamie really took the time to focus on my own growth and what I could take away from the experience – I learned so much about marketing, client relationships, cultural competency, psychology in the workplace, and business writing, all of which turned out to be very transferable. Jamie also generously offered her insights as an employer and career coach by helping me edit my resume and cover letter and learn how best to analyze job postings. Overall, this was an excellent summer experience and I couldn't really have asked for anything more out of it.
