{CAPSTONE COURSE}
Winter 2015
In a final course for the Sweetland Minor in Writing program, a fellow classmate and I decided to create a promotional video aimed at recently accepted Michigan students for our large-scale project.
With a timeline of four months and heads filled with big ideas, we embarked on a journey full of trials and triumphs to get to our finished piece.
Througout the process, we developed our skills on a professional level through email communication, on a multimedia level with video editing programs and camera rental, and on a written level with our script.

{GATEWAY COURSE}
Fall 2014
In Why I Write, a self-reflective essay, I examine the inherent characteristics that allow my writing to flourish. Writing is not only something that I am assigned to do as an English major and Writing minor, but also something that I need to do to feed my soul. Please click the button on the left to read more.
In an introductory course to the Writing minor, students spend the majority of the semester on a two-part project. This project involves transforming an existing piece of writing into two, completely reimagined pieces.
In the first part of this assignment entitled Repurposing, I took a small note that was left for me in a textbook and turned the idea of note writing into a flyer for a note writing campaign.
The second part of the assignment, Remediation, included the implementation of the actual campaign and the inclusion of multimedia elements through a video and website to document its success.
