Thank You, IGNITE! What a Journey!
As I wrap up my Marketing practicum, I've been thinking a lot about how much this experience has meant to me, and I couldn't finish without saying thank you.
Spending time at IGNITE has been so much more than just "part of the program." It's where everything I learned at NBCC came to life. It's where I put what I learned into action, be part of a real team, and explore what it means to connect with people through meaningful marketing.
From the very beginning, I felt it — that sense of being truly welcomed. Not just included, but seen, heard, and supported. There was always room to ask questions, share ideas, and participate in the creative process. That kind of Welcome makes all the difference.
With all the Marketing Team
I had the chance to work on everything from campaign planning to content creation, and each task helped me understand not just the "how" of marketing, but the why. I've grown so much — not just in skills, but in confidence. This experience helped me understand what truly moves people and how thoughtful marketing can create impact.
Attending the AGM during my first week showed me how much IGNITE, Planet Hatch, and CRIN truly act as partners to the community. Also, our team visit to Nackawic was such a special experience — not only to explore the region's beauty but also to connect with people and share that moment with the whole marketing team.
A shout-out and thank you to Paula Lehr, Julia Pazzano, and the marketing team: Ashleigh and Rey — your guidance, encouragement, and positive energy made all the difference. You didn't just teach me; you empowered me.
To everyone at IGNITE, Planet Hatch, and CRIN — thank you for the smiles, the laughs, the good conversations, and for being such an inspiring team. I'm grateful — not just for the experience, but for the inspiration and real friendships.
If I had to sum it all up in one word, it would be WELCOME. That's how I felt every single day — and that feeling will stay with me as I move forward.
As I look ahead, I feel grateful, inspired, and ready for what’s next. This practicum reminded me exactly why I chose this path — and why I’m so passionate about it.
Thank you, IGNITE, for being a part of my journey.
Let's stay connected — I have a feeling this is just the beginning!
