FOSTER CONSULTING INTERNSHIP - EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING ACTIVITY
This quarter, I had the opportunity to participate in the Foster Consulting Internship, where I was paired with Artitudes, a small business based in Seattle. My role involved assisting them in monetizing their creative communications coaching program, which was an enriching and hands-on learning experience. Collaborating one-on-one with a small business owner allowed me to gain

FUJISAN DIGITAL MARKETING INTERNSHIP
valuable insights into the communications coaching industry while exploring effective pricing models and crafting targeted social media advertising strategies. This project not only expanded my skills but also served as my experiential learning activity, making it a truly rewarding and impactful experience.

During fall quarter, I had the pleasure of interning with Fujisan Marketing in Fremont. It is my first internship and it has been an amazing learning experience in Search Engine Optimization, Pay-Per-Click Advertising, and Google Analytics.
The office is small with only nine employees so I have been able to form meaningful connections with my coworkers. We even have an office dog - Bear - who is a chocolate lab and contributes to the wonderful work culture!
Working in such a close-knit environment has allowed me to take on significant responsibilities, ask questions freely, and receive valuable mentorship from my team.
One of the highlights of this internship has been seeing how digital marketing strategies are implemented in real-time and the tangible results they produce for clients. It has been incredibly rewarding to contribute to projects that directly impact clients’ online presence and business growth. This experience has not only strengthened my technical skills but also given me greater confidence in working collaboratively in a professional setting. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented and supportive team, and I look forward to applying these skills to future endeavors.
INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA
One of my favorite experiences this quarter was attending the international balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was such an amazing and unique experience. Watching hundreds of hot air balloons of all shapes and colors rise against the backdrop of the Sandia Mountains at sunrise felt like stepping into a dream. The energy of the crowd, the artistry of the balloon designs, and the serene beauty of the sky made it unforgettable. It was a reminder of how creativity and nature can come together to inspire awe and bring people from all over the world together. This experience will forever hold a special place in my heart.
