2024 YEP KC Spotlights! Introducing Preston Lee Hello everyone! My name is Preston Lee and I am a rising senior at Lincoln College Prep. In college, I plan on pursuing a degree in economics and minoring in French and finance. My goal is to go into housing development. This summer, I am at Kansas City G.I.F.T. (Generating Income For Tomorrow) interning under their marketing team. Kansas City G.I.F.T is a non-profit for small black-owned businesses. Their goal is to close the historical wealth gap between African-Americans and other ethnicities throughout Kansas City. I am responsible for using Photoshop and different design platforms to create different carousels that are posted on various social media platforms. During my time at G.I.F.T., I'm working under Jackelyn Daniels and Cornell Gorman. We have been focusing on an upcoming gala on September 28th and trying to gain traction to sell tickets. I have experienced growth in many areas during my time at G.I.F.T. I am developing my graphic design skills in Canva and Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm also learning how to apply different marketing techniques. An example would be appealing to people's emotions on different social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I am very thankful for the opportunity YEP and Kansas City G.I.F.T. have provided me with through the summer, and I will continue to grow and learn.
