Project coordinator / Marketing Resource manager
I create and maintain and marketing materials and website as well. As well as giving presentations
I maintain a website for the office of special programs for Fullerton College, I usually update the site per the request of one of the counselors to reflect a change in what we offer. I take time to interview students for a student spotlight portion of the newsletter I produce as well. Most of my day is spent creating graphics or flyers for upcoming events. There is some bookkeeping there is some heavy lifting, most importantly there is a time where I leave my cave and speak to the public.
Here's the first step for high school students
First thing I would recommend is to start getting to know the faculty and staff, they will be the gatekeepers, stand out on campus as someone everyone wants to work with because of their positive energy. Take you art classes serious and lead whenever possible. Be a self starter at this stage in the game no one wants to have to tell you to do your job. Take your emotions out of it and go full speed toward the finish line because nothing last for ever.
"That I need to find a job that is going to pay me. I didn't know that I could go to school for Art, I thought you were endowed with the spirit of the ancestors in order to get paid for drawing or painting, So I pursued a business degree."
