My Work
Throughout the several courses I’ve taken at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects that have both challenged and inspired me. From PowerPoint presentations to long-form essays, I’ve linked below the work that I’m most proud of.
The Imperfection of Standardized Testing: An argumentative essay about the flaws of standardized testing. I discuss why this common type of testing isn’t reliable in measuring a student’s performance and the stress and pressure both students and educators endure to achieve high scores.
My Big Idea Presentation: A presentation centered around my client, Blood Center of Wisconsin. I breakdown what my client could improve on in terms of spreading awareness of its services, increasing blood donations and its overall PR strategy. I concluded the end of my presentation with an original event for Blood Center of Wisconsin to host, which includes a blood drive, entertainment, fundraising efforts and more.
Chicago Art Museum Exhibition Review: I had the privilege to attend two prestigious art museums in downtown Chicago. I reflected on the field trip by crafting a five-page essay reviewing my favorite exhibition displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, Weaving Beyond the Bauhaus.
Threats to Coral Reefs: Coral reefs are facing a large threat due to mining, destructive fishing practices, tourism, pollution and the most controversial killer, climate change. I conducted hours of primary research to create a well-constructed research paper about the dangers coral reefs are experiencing.
Just Shy of First Place: Swimming has been and always will be a passion of mine. For this specific essay, I wanted to dive into a memory that will stick with me forever, which was when I swam my first 50-meter race.
The Effectiveness of Advertising Through Social Media: Today’s world runs on social media—whether you like it or not. Instagram and Facebook are today’s new billboards and newspaper ads. In this essay, I examined the pros, cons and overall effectiveness of social media platforms and how companies use various social media apps to their advantage.
