[Part time job] May 2026 to now
SMCCCD Sustainability Instagram
All 3 of my top posts were Reels, led by one that reached 1,218 accounts.
I run the Instagram account for SMCCCD Sustainability, a program that serves three Bay Area colleges. I plan the content calendar, write captions, make designs in Canva and schedule posts. Reach was higher in March and April, before I started. It fell to 483 in May, my first month, as the spring semester was ending, then climbed to 3,054 in July.
