Get ready to elevate your portfolio! 

The portfolio workshop will show attendees how they can tell their own story through a visual aid that will complement their resume and cover letter. The workshop will hopefully boost attendees’ confidence and provide insight into how they can make their applications stand out and/or inspire their own personal branding efforts. At this workshop, we will have a Canva professional, Gabriela Otero, who understands the dos and dont’s of the program. She will provide examples of portfolios and provide tips on templates, organization, and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops and pieces that they would like to add to their portfolio in order to make the most of the workshop. This event is meant to give attendees a hands-on experience where they can ask questions and work with one another to build their portfolios.
