Meet Tails Pineda: Director of Social Media at the CVT
Tails Pineda is a high school graduate from Honduras, who was recently promoted to the Director of Social Media at the Coronavirus Visualization Team. Pineda graduated high school in 2019, and she hopes to major in International Business & Trade as she prepares to attend university.
Pineda has been a member of the CVT for roughly five months, and she has been instrumental in helping to transform our organization’s media footprint. From idealizing workflows to building up a functional team system to creating an organized structure for files and tools, Pineda directs the CVT Social Media team with the motto of “ideation to creation.” The work that she regularly fulfills helps keep members accountable and on top of their assigned responsibilities — giving life to the CVT’s social media presence.
Together with the Co-Executive Director, Gabrielle Wong, Pineda is helping to build up a new division for the CVT’s Social Media Team besides content creation, which is outreach and engagement. The purpose of this is to improve CVT’s social media following, reach, and potential impact by growing a community of like-minded organizations.
Pineda joined the CVT because she wanted to participate in Erevna’s past event, the MLK Jr Tutorthon, as a fellow in January 2021. After having the opportunity to interact and collaborate directly with the CVT, she appreciated the “vibe and joy of work” prevalent amongst the organization, and she sought to establish a more permanent role within the team.
When asked about her favorite part about working at the CVT, Pineda named two keywords: community and opportunity.
“The CVT has just such a wide environment for growth and expansion both in terms of creating relationships with all the wonderful members across it, and contributing to the projects and impactful work each member immerses themselves with,” exclaims Pineda.
From her time as the Director of Social Media, Pineda has picked up numerous skills that she is excited to continue growing over the course of the upcoming months, such as working with teammates across several time zones, improving in time management and priority scheduling, planning content for social media, optimizing user engagement across time slots, and learning how to ensure a healthy and efficient flow between team members.
“I am grateful that I have been able to put these skills into practice, and more importantly, the chance to continue growing my leadership and workflow system skills,” Pineda notes.
Outside of the Coronavirus Visualization Team, Pineda has numerous outside hobbies that fill her busy days.
She is currently a startup entrepreneur in the process of developing her own brand, Tails’ Blog, which aims to support young women to gracefully achieve life balance and become the best version of themselves. Check out her thriving Youtube channel below!
To grow her business skills, Pineda has also been immersing herself in HarvardX courses under the topics of Economics, Business, and Entrepreneurship. These are helping her blossom both in her executive role at the CVT and in the development of her own brand.
Pineda is also incredibly dedicated to community service, and in her free time, she volunteers at eBookBuddy, an organization focused on teaching education and fostering close relationships with kids. Pineda joined to do reading sessions in 2020, and just a couple of months ago, she was able to bring the program to Honduras as a global Ambassador & Coordinator. She is excited to continue collaborating to share this joyful program with Honduras kids and expanding it to more Latin-American countries!
Overall, Pineda is extremely grateful for the time quarantine has given her to grow her own brand and focus on personal development, spiritual growth, and mindset principles. It has also given her more time to bond with her friends and family, cook new interesting dishes, and dive into bullet journaling.
