Pillsbury United Communities Social Media

As a Community Voice Intern for Pillsbury United Communities, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate closely with the marketing team, where my primary role was to cover various events and programs. One of my main responsibilities was to capture impactful stories from these events, ensuring that the essence and significance of each occasion were conveyed to our audience. Additionally, I took the initiative to introduce a novel concept: "Social Media on the Ground" reels. This idea involved capturing events in real-time through short, engaging videos that effectively boosted our social media presence. The combination of storytelling and real-time content creation proved to be a powerful way to connect with our community and elevate our organization's online visibility.

Open Streets

Open Streets is a worldwide movement that grants communities a unique chance to perceive their streets from a fresh perspective. During Open Streets events, roadways are temporarily closed to vehicles, creating safe environments for walking, biking, skating, and various social activities. These events encourage individuals to rethink public spaces by placing emphasis on people rather than cars. I conducted interviews and captured videos showcasing the offerings of Pillsbury United Communities.

Unleashing the FANS Ultra Race's Thrill!"

The FANS Ultra Race is an exhilarating endurance event held at Normandale Lake Park in Bloomington. Participants walk or run for 6, 12, or 24 hours to raise money for the FANS Scholarship Fund, supporting first-gen college-bound students in Minneapolis. This inspiring race fosters unity and empowers scholars to pursue their post-secondary education, making a lasting impact on the community. I captured the heart and soul of the FANS Ultra Race, translating the energy of each stride and the spirit of fellowship into engaging short videos. From the pre-race excitement to the victorious finish line moments, I aimed to immerse viewers in the pulsating atmosphere of this remarkable event.
