Many of you know me as the WIN NJ leader and program manager. Plus, you know me as a social media strategist and a #1 Best Selling Author, but I thought I’d take a moment to share my backstory. How I started and ended up with the success that I’ve achieved today! It wasn’t easy, as I had many speed bumps along the way. Some of those include health crisis, financial crisis, and relationship issues. I am an autoimmune warrior. I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Thyroid disease, Celiac disease, and Myasthenia Gravis. Basically, it boils down to endocrinology, rheumatology, and neurological problems. I’ve been through RAI (radioactive iodine) treatment, almost went blind, and was wheelchair bound. Now, western medicine wasn’t working very well for me. So, to become healthy, I had to research and find alternative treatments. (This is why I’m a holistic health advocate today!) Discovering naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy was a major turning point in getting healthier. Now, to back track just a bit… My health issues began right as I was going to start college. This affected my ability to achieve getting a degree because I went out on medical leave. As a result, I turned to online learning years later and have a few certificates under my belt. However, this combination led to difficulties in finding a job later on. As a consequence, I was dependent rather than independent. I had to lean on family for help, which I appreciated, but it was difficult to accept. I had to find alternative ways to make money. That’s when I started contract virtual assistant work. As the years went on, my skill kept evolving, the more experienced I became. This allowed me to open my own business, Sarah’s Social Strategy LLC. That’s how I ended up becoming social media marketing strategist you all know today. Next up was my relationship with my ex fiancé, which lasted for a decade. It was good half the time, and the other half was toxic. There were a few mental health issues that deeply affected our romantic relationships. Plus, I had step children, and an ex wife to contend with as well. Luckily, we broke up during Covid. After that my life changed drastically for the better! I moved back in with family, and ended up needing a total hysterectomy, but it was one of the best things to happen to me. I was finally pain free and not at risk for hemorrhaging. Plus, simultaneously I met my current boyfriend, and I couldn’t be happier. Finally, a normal, healthy relationship, and today we own our own home! In addition, I’m a pet parent to a Bombay cat named, Mitsy. I’m also a dog animal lover that’s why I do some pet sitting on the side! As for some extra details, I enjoy reading, sewing, and I’m originally from Brooklyn.

My Education Struggle Who sacrificed in helping to overcome my life challenges? Why did this person help me to be where I'm at today? First, I congratulate my mother for helping me through this challenging journey. Since three years old, I was diagnosed with autism, making it difficult for me to study, memorize, read, speak, listen, understand, focus, and make friends at school. At elementary school, I never said a word, and I never knew I was there for education and thought it was a punishment. My Mother's Help My mom was working those times, and then she procrastinated for my reasons. She sacrificed in raising and helping me instead of continuing to work. My mother was taking me to and picking me up from school. She convinced the Unified School District to get me into a special education program and stepped up for me to prevent bullying. After that, I continued my education and gained interaction skills. I eventually made friends, educated myself, and graduated from kinder to university undergraduate program. My Mother's Inspiration I wouldn't be at the top of the mountain today without my mother. She inspired my sister to do the same as a single mother and have her daughters graduating high school. That inspiration will be passed on to the future generations. Today, let's congratulate every mom in this beautiful world who has done a great job supporting their children through difficult times with education/health and making them feel special.

Have you ever envisioned an app merging the functionalities of Google, Instagram, TikTok, FaceTime, and messaging? WeChat, a popular Chinese application, does just that. Offering users a diverse array of features such as messaging, shopping, and more, WeChat profoundly influences the search landscape by supplying users with a wealth of data and content. Background: I'm Choinam Zheng, currently interning as a social media marketer at W.I.N. Additionally, I manage the social media accounts for a dance company named PHOENIX based in China. Since 2014, PHOENIX has been dedicated to teaching children dancing, starting from preschool age up to high school. Our repertoire includes a variety of styles such as Chinese traditional dances, folk dances, ballet, and hip-hop. As we expanded, we encountered challenges in reaching more target audiences. This blog delves into the background research I've initiated to address this issue. Research: In exploring avenues utilized by businesses similar to PHOENIX to engage their audiences, I've found a prevalent strategy involves leveraging platforms like WeChat, a multifunctional application. As combining every functions people want to use, the platform also offers in-app search that make users lean on searching within the app instead of traditional search engines. WeChat reach 800 million monthly active users on WeChat Search in 2022, marking a 54% increase in search volume compared to the previous year. Notably, WeChat Search significantly contributes to the growth of followers for public accounts, with a 27% share. Action: Considering the local context, individuals seeking information on dance classes for their children frequently turn to WeChat Search. Recognizing this, I am taking proactive steps to optimize PHOENIX's presence on WeChat, focusing on enhancing search engine optimization (SEO) for our blog accounts. By strategically aligning our content with relevant dance categories, I aim to improve visibility and ensure PHOENIX appears prominently in search results, facilitating easier discovery for potential customers seeking dance classes for their children.

Both my minor and major have taught me how to write in many different genres of professional writing such as: Technical writing  Grant writing Public Relations Writing Nonprofit storytelling Who am I? I was born and raised in New Jersey and from a young age I’ve had an interest in writing. At first, I was only interested in creative writing but now I have a passion for business writing. Additionally, during my college career, I joined multiple student organizations like PRSSA and WMSC radio. In 2022, I became a certified DJ and currently I have my own radio show called Jessica’s Playlist that is on 90.3 WMSC Upper Montclair. Career Journey I’m set to graduate in May of this year which is a bit nerve wracking since I’ll be diving into the unknown. A new experience like this is terrifying but also very exciting because I will begin my career journey. The career path I'm interested digital marketing or public relations.

Juggling Life, Motherhood and running a Social Media Strategy Business is exhausting to say the least, especially because... "I'm a mom. Of course I'm the cook, maid, tutor, chauffeur, and the Hero because I have Mc Donald's Money aha. We are going to talk about some of the ways that I stay on top of business and deadlines while keeping a busy household running, but first... Let me introduce myself. My name is Dasha, The meaning of my name is "Gift of God." I love that the most. I'll be 32 years old this August 11th, I'm a Leo. Born in Inglewood California and have spent all my days in SoCal, outside of traveling. If we aren't in the mountains playing in the snow, we hit the beach and soak up some sun! I eat my grits with butter and sugar and I don't really know what it's like to have different weather / seasons, I am a city girl through and through with so much love being from the Sunshine State! Having 4 little people who depend on you for everyday life is a job in itself, Don't get me started on that Man, ha! My big kid, Varian. He's turning 15 years old and a freshman in Highschool, he wrestles for the school and does MMA in his free time. My two ferocious 4 year old toddlers, Faith & Jeremy give me a run for my money every single day, they will be 5 this year. I'm blinking twice for help aha!!! Finally, last and better be the least of my children... My Beautiful baby girl Eliana, Turning 1 this year and headed for adoption this April 2024 to become an official Culberson, Woot Woot!  Wife, Mother, Business Owner, and Intern So... Wife, 4 kiddos while being an entrepreneur and taking up an internship. Let's talk about it! Where do I find the time? Let's just say I make the time. Between driving Lyft part time, keeping up with the school schedules, MMA, play dates, as well as everyday home cleaning, cooking and bath time. When I leave all my other jobs for the day (Household is sleeping), I sit behind my laptop and I catch up with my business. The trick is to give your business just as much energy as you give all your other jobs and activities. Easier said than done of course, because who really wants to do that? If you're a mom, you learned early in the infant stages that it's best to sleep when the kids sleep. Of course it gets slightly easier as they get bigger but in those times you can't sleep, WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS! You have time while the kids are home playing, WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS! Those late nights that you spend on your phone scrolling, yes! WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS!!! 5 things I want to take away from the WIN Internship to Enhance my Social Media Strategy The year of 2023 was a year of triumphs and tribulations for both but most importantly it was a year I took a leap of faith and started my own Social Media Management business Conner &Co Although I have found success in my business, I would love the opportunity with the WIN Community to dibble and dabble in everything they are willing to teach me. With my expertise I am hoping to become the "Go-To Person" for most if not all things. With everything I am looking to learn and perfect, I hope to one day be able to teach others how to do these things 1. Content Creation, mostly making sure I keep the text short and sweet for social media allowing it to be better digested by the audience.  2. Analytics and data, I would like to be more fluent in understanding performance metrics.  3. Gain better understanding of how to use SEO  4. How to create and manage paid campaigns 5. Brand Understanding, building a brand voice for each different social media platform. LinkedIn / Facebook / Instagram / Work With Me

Life is a complex game composed of journeys filled with challenges, opportunities, and unexpected turns. In this grand adventure, I encounter multiple marketing journeys and acquire skills as treasuries that hold the key to mastering the game.  Business soft skills - Academic Journey  As a senior majoring in Consumer Science and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, my academic journey has been dedicated to learning and enhancing the global customer experience by analyzing trends and behaviors to boost sales for companies.

Lastly, I look forward to participating in setting up and managing social media advertising campaigns.  Despite the unknown journey ahead, I’m excited to unlock fresh skills and relish the triumphs that accompany unveiling the diverse levels of this extraordinary adventure.

Those techniques are essential for my career in teaching students, and I also want to promote myself to a Walmart market manager position in the future.
