Hi everyone ! Nice to meet you here.
I've started a Caribbean Podcast and I'm looking for a Digital Marketing and Communication Coordinator & Graphic Design Intern. These are unpaid Internships at The Blue Zone, media series.

The Blue Zone is a web series exploring the potential of the Caribbean Blue Economy from a justice lens. Our goal is to design questions that build conversation and create a platform for creative thinking and bold solutions around a community-led blue economy. We keep conversations open and casual intentionally to make things inclusive for those who may not be in the ocean innovation or conservation community as yet. This is an independent start-up project, so the internship is unpaid and compensation-based. Compensation can be gained based on any funds brought into The Blue Zone through an Intern’s efforts. However, I will work with you to craft your experience as an intern and provide you with real-world experience that can be added to your portfolio/resume.
I am a storyteller, a mentor for Seaworthy Collective, and youth ocean advocates, working at the intersection of blue economy, ocean justice, and conservation, based on the island of Montserrat. I develop and advise on equitable and inclusive strategies for social impact. I was recognized by the Ocean Awards 2020 as a leader on marine conservation issues within the Caribbean through her nonprofit organization Fish ’N Fins. I'm also the founder of the AQUA Caribbean Blue Economy Conference and an easy-going mother of an 8-year-old boy :)

I launched the web series in August 2020 and have produced over 10 episodes. Today we are transitioning to a podcast that is available on Pinecast and my own website. Our aim is to get on other platforms including Youtube. I also stream my interviews live on Facebook, we would like to do the same on Twitter, LinkedIn.
