Throughout my internship at Merida Meridian, I do a wide range of projects that are assigned to me. From making little posters around the office, to directing videos for the company website, to even writing blog articles! During a normal day I usually find ways to help the company advertise/market themselves in more effective ways to their customers. My mentor, Whitney Palmedo, has been giving me great opportunities to expand my set of skills that will be incredibly useful in the future. She has been pushing me forward and allowing me to really grow by valuing my opinions. It has built my self confidence to proceed with the desire to be successful in the field of design.
I’ve learned so much during my internship here at Merida. I’ve learned how the market works, how to use certain programs on the computer that are essential in the field of design, and more importantly what it takes to be successful when one has a passion for something. I’ve learned the value of teamwork. Here at Merida everyone does an excellent job communicating with each other. I’ve realized that this is crucial regardless of whether one is running a company, a club, or planning on being successful. I’ve also learned a lot about the different types of rugs and their sustainability.
Here at Merida, Whitney Palmedo, Maegan Fee, Bojan Mandaric, and all of my other coworkers, have helped me grow into the great intern I am now. That might sound cliché, but they’ve all been extremely welcoming. They’ve all helped me develop my professional skills in all aspects. I’m very grateful I got placed here. I can’t imagine working anywhere else.
