Get to know Victoria, the Social Media Community Manager!
Hey! My name is Victoria Stewart, and I am the Social Media Community Manager this summer at Beat the Streets. This is my second year now in this position, and I am so excited to be back!
I am currently going into my third year at Wilfrid Laurier University studying biology, and I hope to work in research or healthcare in the future. I know the fields of marketing and biology are very different, but for years, graphic design and photoshop have been a main hobby of mine. I started around grade 9, and since then, I have been improving and taking on more roles that utilize my skills accordingly. That’s why I’m so excited about this position. I feel that here, I can make a meaningful impact, one that benefits my community in many ways. It’s also a great chance for me to learn new, valuable skills, design related or otherwise.
I am so grateful for this opportunity, and for it I would like to thank not only Beat the Streets, but also Canada Summer Jobs for providing my funding. Without the support from both of these organizations, I would not be able to do my work, and I would be unable to reach the goals I set for myself. So, again, a big thank you to Beat the Streets and Canada Summer Jobs, I really appreciate this amazing opportunity!
