You wouldn’t jump into a lake before you knew how to swim. In the same way, before I jump into the real world and begin to connect with mentors, I need to first establish a professional presence. That is why, this week I worked on creating a personal brand.
I have made a digital portfolio with a consistent color scheme and font that is distinctly my own. As this portfolio will document my progress throughout the ISM program I want to ensure that it is well made and is a good representation of who I am. This was my first time making a website with WIX.com, so I did have some struggles getting used to the tools, but I am satisfied with what I was able to create.
I also created a LinkedIn profile to share my experiences and accomplishments. Setting up this profile now will help me reach out to mentors when the time comes.
I have started researching mentors in the field of psychology and possible topics that I could pursue for my original work and final product. In particular, I am interested in the application of modern technology in the study of psychology. This following week, I will continue my research and start to narrow down the topic I want to focus on.
