During the summer of 2019, Nichole was a part of the LA County Arts Internship Program, established in 2000 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. This internship gave Nichole work experience in the nonprofit arts administration; it helped her better understand the role of the arts in communities and helped her develop transferable skills relevant to careers in the arts. The LA County Arts Internship Program allowed the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles to hire Nichole as a Social Media intern for the Summer of 2019.
As a Social Media intern for ICYOLA, Nichole created the social media accounts that ICYOLA currently utilizes. She grew the number of ICYOLA’s followers by creating content and engaging with their target audience. Staying on track with ICYOLA’s vision and goals, Nichole built ICYOLA’s brand awareness while promoting their Season Finale Concert at The Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall.
At the completion of Nichole’s internship, ICYOLA continued to work with Nichole in creating Social Media content for their social media channels and creating marketing content for their Season Finale Concerts in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 at The Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. *Please see the marketing media materials below.
