Reflections from Seventh Week at WSGA
Hello again! Shelby Sinclair here and I’m excited to share the highlights from my seventh week as the 2024 WSGA Marketing and Communications Intern. This week has been a mix of productive tasks, collaborative efforts, and a refreshing holiday break. Let’s dive into the details!
Juggling Tasks and Refining Content
I continued assisting Jim with AGPAC letters to senators and Wyoming representatives. This task is crucial for keeping our legislative partners informed and endorsed. I also dedicated time to editing an article for the upcoming CowCountry Magazine, focusing on grammar, punctuation, and ensuring a smooth flow. To promote a new blog post, I designed a flyer using Canva for our social media channels, aiming to grab attention and drive engagement. Later in the day, I worked on the No Bull Sheet using InDesign, preparing it for distribution. It was a busy day balancing various tasks, but it was all part of gaining valuable experience here at WSGA.
Polishing Content and Organizing Media
I continued editing the CowCountry Magazine article, polishing the grammar and refining the overall flow. Additionally, I dedicated time to working on my own blog post about building partnerships, focusing on crafting compelling and insightful content. Later, I organized and uploaded all the photos for CowCountry Magazine onto our shared Google Drive. Ensuring that our media is well-organized and easily accessible is crucial for the smooth progression of our publication process.
Field Work and Remote Tasks
I worked from home and had a packed schedule. I went out to meet the King Ranch family again and captured photos of them moving cattle into their new forest permit land. This hands-on experience provided valuable insights into their operations. I spent the rest of the day editing articles and had a productive phone call with my supervisor to catch up on everything and discuss ongoing projects.
I spent my morning chatting with Mark Eisele as he waited for his kids to gather the cattle from the forest permit to move to there second forest permit pasture!
Holiday Break
In celebration of Independence Day, I took a well-deserved break to enjoy the holiday. I went camping in Medicine Bow Forest by Albany, embracing the chance to relax and recharge. It was a wonderful escape into nature, allowing me to celebrate the Fourth of July in a serene and picturesque setting.
I spent the Fourth of July in Medicine Bow National Forest relaxing and unplugging for the holiday weekend!
A Day Off
The office was closed, giving me an additional day to unwind and enjoy my holiday break.
Looking Ahead
As I reflect on this past week, I’m grateful for the blend of productive work and refreshing downtime. From editing articles and designing promotional materials to enjoying a camping trip in Medicine Bow Forest, this week has offered a mix of challenges and relaxation. I’m looking forward to diving back into my tasks and continuing to make a meaningful impact in the weeks ahead. Thank you for following along on my journey, and stay tuned for more updates!
