Communications Intern at Part & Parcel

During the Summer of 2021, I served as a communications intern at Part & Parcel, a package-free bulk goods store in Durham, NC. They “serve as a model of neurodiversity through inclusive employment while seeking to reduce packaging waste and contribute to equitable food systems.” The store had opened a couple of months before I joined the team.

Throughout the summer, I assisted the Executive Director in developing a sustainable communications plan, with an emphasis on social media (Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook). I crafted a campaign to promote in-store shopping along with creating promotional graphics for the monthly pop-up market. I also created profiles for each of the local vendors featured in the store.
