Wrapping up my amazing internship at ERC Empowerment Resource Center! 🎉 I had the incredible opportunity to work closely with the outreach team, capturing moments and managing ERC’s social media. From posting about clinic specials, different events coming up, informational videos,to sharing updates on outreach activities, and photographing events, it was a blast! 📸
As a Public Health major at the University of Alabama, it was enlightening to see how the different departments at ERC function and work together. Special shoutout and thanks to the outreach team for letting me tag along this summer and to the Director of Special Events & Marketing Latasha for her guidance and support. 🙌
One of my proudest achievements? Increasing our engagement to about 40% on social media platforms. Starting with instagram, over 1000+ and getting 1000+ views on our TikTok videos! 🚀
Thank you, ERC, for this incredible experience. I’ve learned so much about, public health outreach, and HIV testing. I’ve learned so much how social media can impact HIV test and public health outreach. I’m now more ready than ever to take on my senior year. ❤️
