Week 12

Hello everyone, welcome to my last blog post! This week I practiced presenting by going to the lower school and teaching the younger kids about social media marketing and sustainable fashion. It was really amazing to see young kids already so passionate about the environment and I hope that my project got them more interested in sustainability issues. On Thursday I presented my final project and submitted my final deliverable. Throughout my project there were definitely challenges in structuring my days and analyzing my findings but with the help of my faculty advisor and on-site mentor it became manageable. I would like to give a huge thanks to both Ms. Davies, and Kelly Wang for helping me throughout this project. Ms. Davies’ insight on sustainability issues was a huge help to me for drawing connections between my internship and my project. And the invaluable experience that I had as a social media intern at Rue Saint Paul was where I collected the majority of my data for this project. The Rue Saint Paul team was so welcoming and willing to aid me in my project, I could not have asked for a better placement. 

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to spend these months studying fashion- one of the topics I am most passionate about, and its impact on our environment. This topic has always been fascinating and starting this project has made me even more curious so I hope to find ways in the future to continue investigating this question. 

Overall, this project was a wonderful way for me to explore my own interests and close out my 10 years at Basis! Thank you all for following me in this process, here is the link to my final deliverable and presentation.
