“This opportunity took me one step closer to accomplishing my dreams of pursuing a career in this field and I’m so grateful for this wonderful organization and scholarship. ”
Who am I?
I’m Aki Barabadi. I studied English literature in Iran and graduated this week with a Master of Publishing from Simon Fraser University. In terms of my career path, I have worked in different publishing companies in Iran in multiple positions as editor, proofreader, translator and publishing manager.
What was my motivation to take this course?
I was really drawn to this course because I wanted to pursue a career in the marketing and management of the publishing industry after my graduation in Canada. I wanted to delve into digital marketing and work on these skills since all my jobs in publishing have some sort of aspects of digital marketing involved, which is why I wanted to keep learning more and stay relevant.
How did I know about Jelly Academy and its scholarships?
I learned about Jelly Academy and its scholarships via a post on LinkedIn letting people know about the deadline to apply for the spring semester and its scholarships. I am so glad I was able to receive this scholarship which allowed me to take this course when I was an international student and I was not able to afford it at that time.
What are my takeaways from this course?
Prior to receiving the scholarship for the 6-Week Digital Marketing course, I had little knowledge of digital marketing. I got so hooked from the beginning on this encompassing course and I took a huge amount of value from it and came away with a wide understanding of a variety of fundamental concepts in digital marketing including SEO, google analytics, ads, and publish relations, and social media management. Throughout the course, I was also supported by a curriculum of additional readings and I was able to apply for certifications from Facebook, Google, and HootSuite with a code of Jelly academy.
This opportunity took me one step closer to accomplishing my dreams of pursuing a career in this field and I’m so grateful for this wonderful organization and scholarship.
