"I had an amazing web development work term with Global NL this past winter and cannot wait to delve back into the project - this time in a vastly different role. Though I’m a second-year Computer Engineering student, my earliest work experience was as a Search Engine Optimized Content Writer. I hope to bring those existing skills into play and develop both digital media design and strategy skills."
