Economics and Nexus in Non-Profits Major
Cultivating Curiosity for Education.
The increase in immigration rates and refugee populations led to my enthusiasm towards getting involved in non-governmental organizations and specifically focusing on advocating for the well-being and education for all ages. During summer, I interned at The Children’s Museum Jordan where I took part in the Business Development team as well as the Marketing and Communications team. The Museum’s mission is to nurture curious children who love to learn, with a vision to make every visit a memorable experience of growth. Our teams played an important role in advertising for all of the ongoing activities and celebrations in the museum. To do so, we had to look through the eyes of our target audience and contribute to their needs and passion, hence, enhancing our diverse educational exhibits. While there, I campaigned for one of the Museum’s biggest festival, managed the social media channels and public relations plans, developed a marketing plan and got introduced to all other professional techniques of advertising and communication, which gave me a great insight into the depth of developing a business as well as strengthening my verbal and written communication skills. This opportunity allowed me to solidify my drive to work on fostering diverse learning experiences for early childhood development and youth.
