Projects
Here's a glimpse into some of the work I've accomplished in collaboration with fellow peers and as an individual during my undergraduate and graduate degrees. These projects allowed me to recognize that I am an organized multitasker; I thrive when managing multiple projects and enjoy rush of meeting deadlines or accomplishing goals.
Promotional Semester-Long Undergraduate Project, JAN 2020 - MAY 2020
As a junior in my undergraduate degree, I received professor invitation to join a course typically for graduating seniors where I worked as a PR staffer on an interdisciplinary team to create and develop content to promote Red Bluff Roundup’s 100th anniversary rodeo in 2021. I worked collaboratively with students in computer animation and game design, as well as media arts, design and technology. I pitched and wrote video scripts as well as web content for the METX + RBRU project home page.

Graduate Elective Course: Literary Criticism & Theory Project, DEC 2022
​
For this project, I researched and designed a presentation on the literary accomplishments of Gayle Rubin, an advocate of feminism, sex and sexuality and LQBTQ+ rights. I connected her theory of symbolic interactionism to modern-day Texas obscenity laws and answered questions at the end. This project was praised as one of the best presentations of the semester.
Special Topics Post-Baccalaureate Course: Power, Privilege and Equity in Higher Education, MAR 2022 - APRIL 2022
​
Working with a group, I presented on racial/colonial capitalist foundations in higher education in the BSS Symposium at CSU Chico. We collaborated to research and analyze existing data, and formulated a hypothetical research study to encapsulate potential reparations from a communication studies lens.
Design, Training & Instruction in Communication Post-Baccalaureate Course, JANUARY 2023 - MAY 2023
​
For this project, I hosted a professional development training on Soft Skills in Mass Media for graduating Journalism & PR undergraduates at CSU Chico. I researched top soft skills for news journalism and PR, utilizing industry resources like MuckRack. I created broad learning goals and specific learning objectives based on a needs assessment and analyzed data in written support report and evaluative report to gauge the overall success of the training.
​
At professor request, all of my final written materials and reports were provided to peers as examples of how to structure their work.
