TFD: How will you apply what you are learning at TFD in your life?
A: I am going to use the skills I am currently learning to start my calligraphy small business! I have learned all about the importance of brand positioning and will apply those skills when I start my business soon. Before this internship, I didn’t have any experience with using a professional camera and now, thanks to the Firehouse Dream, I know how to take professional photos for my business! I’m so excited for what’s to come and can’t thank the Firehouse Dream enough for all that they do!
