ICYMI: I received a scholarship from @UTAShorthorn on Fridayhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">

Managing social & engagement this semester has been a wild ride to say the least, but it’s been fun to innovate with @lushhlina @IndiaEdwards and @reeseoxner this semester on how to to best reach our readers. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">

I love Instagram and knew as soon as I took over a year ago, that I wanted to grow our presence there. With a lot of work and collaboration we managed to gain over a thousand followers!

Here are some of our posts from just this semester:

My major is in graphic design so I wanted to use those skills outside of class! These were simple, fast and effective breaking news graphics I made this semester.

(Also, peep the breaking news content we had https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">)

This semester we also launched 2 newsletters and a breaking newsletter. And I made the masthead images for two of them!

@reeseoxner & I put these together every week and he did most of the heavy lifting in launching them, but I got to help in organizing the workflow and content!

Our audience on IG are the youngest compared to other platforms and were also the least engaged. My favorite thing has been trying to find better ways to reach and engage with fellow students on newer platforms.

These are some weekly IG stories we started and revamped

I got to do so much more for @UTAShorthorn than in this thread but these were some favorites.

And I couldn’t have done it without the advice, guidance and eyes of my friends and coworkers: @reeseoxner @lushhlina @IndiaEdwards @Brian_L8 @NardaLPerez @ssorayah

Anyway, hire me for stuff! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">
