He created a system for recording the different posts across each platform as well as drafted interpretation reports, which served as content proposals for new social media campaigns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis was very beneficial because it gave me an opportunity to see how important social media posts can be for an organization, as well as what it was like to be behind the scenes of [social media] accounts,\u201d Davis said. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to working on social media, Davis gained experience in web development. One of his major projects included working on the website <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoreline-ri.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shoreline-ri.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which contains over 300 public places in Rhode Island where you can participate in recreational activities from fishing to hiking. Davis visited and wrote the stories about some of these places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The biggest assignment Davis had while working for Rhode Island Sea Grant was filming and editing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2f6PnqyAcH4&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on shellfish safety, commissioned by Rhode Island\u2019s Department of Health. &nbsp;The video discussed how Rhode Island state agencies work with the shellfish industry to ensure they are safe to eat by testing water, phytoplankton and shellfish samples for bacteria and toxins. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon graduation, Davis will be working for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Naval Undersea Warfare Center focusing on contract administration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the best internships are located right here at URI.
