“I learned how to use a lot of programs like Squarespace, Mailchimp, Sprout Social, and Facebook Business Manager. These are great tools that many companies use, so these were valuable hard skills to learn in addition to many soft skills, like communication and simply learning what ‘kapwa’ means to us.”

“From how to be an effective marketer, to building brand strategy, to promoting events, to intangibles like how to be a good meeting member, and how to manage time wisely - everything I learned at Kultivate was valuable!”

“It wasn’t until this internship that I realized how much words matter, and how the way in which you put words together can create an effect. Moving forward, I definitely see myself applying intentionality in my future writing projects, while keeping in mind key marketing tactics.”

Jolo Merilleno
At face value, an internship at Undiscovered is already such a cool opportunity that would attract anyone. But after reading about the vision, mission, and history of SoMa Pilipinas, Kultivate Labs, and Undiscovered, I realized that BA Academy was a chance for me to contribute to something truly impactful.

“This internship has shed light on the kind of mark I’d want to leave as a designer and the kind of company/team I’d like to work in. Being surrounded by talented creatives in a variety of areas who are all very unapologetically themselves and seeing it in action opened my eyes.”
