Kelsey Downing created a portfolio documenting objectives and achievements from an internship between July and August 2013. The portfolio includes 4 objectives with descriptions of expected accomplishments, learning activities, demonstrations of achievement, and reflections. Objectives involved organizing an international competitors' library and databases, editing Colgate products on Amazon.com, attending and recording meetings, and applying concepts from an internship exploration class. Demonstrations of achievement include samples of organized competitor videos and updated Amazon products. Reflections assess completion of objectives and growth in skills like time management and communication.

18. Reflection
It is before August 16th 2013 and I have already learned how to improve my
performance and communication skills within a team work dynamic, become a
productive employee who can be an asset to a company and learn all the factors that
play in creating a successful advertising campaign. I have applied the concepts I`ve
learned in Internship Exploration successfully and have been of help to other
employees at work. I have successfully accomplished this personal objective with the
help of my fellow co-workers who gained my trust enough to give me these extra
assignments. This is hopefully evident in my assignment samples in the previous
slides (15-17). Evidence of my growth has been shown through my consistent weekly
blog postings, my evaluation, my superiors evaluation, this reflection, and my grade
outcome in for this course.
