Q) What is your name? Are you currently working in the marketing industry?
Hi! My name is Tiana and I just started doing social media work for an Indigenous modeling agency and Indigenous Fashion Week in Vancouver.
Q) Why did you decide to enroll in Jelly Academy?
I enrolled in Jelly Academy because this is a new career path that I’m taking! And I haven’t experienced any previous schooling for this particular field.
Q) How has your experience at Jelly Academy changed the way you view the marketing industry?
My experience at Jelly Academy has taught me a lot of the digital marketing background work. My view of social media work was a lot different prior to my enrollment. I’m now really excited. And I’m definitely learning that I do have a passion for this — this could be a new career opportunity for me. I’m really excited to learn more and be able to turn this experience into an actual job.
Q) What has been your favourite part of being a Jelly Academy student?
One of my favourite moments of the course was being able to meet all the different teachers. There was a new teacher every week, and I loved being able to learn about their individual experiences. I also really enjoyed how they used Kahoot to quiz us throughout the class. Since it’s an online course, it’s sometimes a little bit tough to stay engaged when you’re not in person. But I think they did a really great job!
Q) Would you recommend this course to other interested students?
I would definitely recommend Jelly Academy to other students because it’s a pretty good course to take throughout your busy life. It was once a week for a few hours —just remotely—so I found it to be pretty easy to fit into my schedule and learn some new skills!
