I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP MY PERSONAL BRAND BY REFLECTING AND INCREASING MY PRESENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY CREATING A LINKEDIN AND SHOWING MY WORK ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

 

I HAVE DEVELOPED NEW SKILLS IN HOW TO BE A LEADER. I LEARNED HOW NOT TO BE INTIMIDATED, AND BE OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES NO MATTER HOW HARD IT LOOKS.

 

I NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR AND HOW BEST TO PRESENT MYSELF. I LEARNED MORE ABOUT TOPICS SUCH AS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND PERSONAL FINANCES.
