JEFCOED Internship
During the Summer of 2025, I interned at the Jefferson County Board of Education (JEFCOED) with their communications department. The experience has been extremely rewarding, and I am proud of the work and collaboration I have done there. Below is some content that I contributed to during my time with JEFCOED.

During the month of June and while I was interning, JEFCOED’s views and link clicks went up on Facebook. I am proud to see that creative and efficient work I have done at JEFCOED contributed to this.
SOAR & fLOURISH AT mINOR cOMMUNITY sCHOOL
The Digital Communications Specialist, Emma Owen, and I went to Minor Community School to make content to show our audience Flourish Alabama helping students at JEFCOED’s Summer program, SOAR (Strengthening our Academic Reasoning).

Emma and I created the caption and took the photos.

I used simple language to accommodate parents who do not have much education and for parents whose first language is not English, so that the post is easily translated. As of a result of my templates for the campaign, the first help session was successful. The Technology Integration Specialist, Kimberly Jaggard, said that because of my templates, she “…a record number of families on our first day of registration assistance…”

Clay-Chalkville Football Team
It is so important to show how different schools help each other in Jefferson County, and that is what I wanted to showcase with this reel. I wanted to highlight the community within Jefferson County. In this reel, Clay Elementary is feeding Clay-Chalkville High School’s football team. Not only is this such a kind thing to do, but it is a great way for students who went to Clay Elementary to reconnect with past teachers. Emma Owens and I came up with the caption below.
