The Co-op team thanks Alyssa for her amazing contributions and wishes her all the best – she will be missed!
Hi, my name is Alyssa! I'm a Communication and Media Studies student and have been working at the Faculty of Arts Co-op Office as a Communication Assistant Peer Helper for the last 7 months.
Through this role, I was able to gain experience with social media and work collaboratively with the Co-op team and Peer Helper cohorts. Under the mentorship of Amanda and Tianni, I have learned valuable skills in content creation, media scheduling and email marketing. Specifically, my tasks included creating graphics and captions, posting on the Arts Co-op’s socials twice every week and uploading and editing the newsletter onto the Marketo platform. These skills helped build my resume as I am more confident applying for jobs in my field due to my Peer Helper experience.
I highly recommend the Peer Helper program to students who are looking to step into the job industry by gaining real work experience and start their career journey!
