LATEST PROJECTS
For the 2018-2019 academic year, I had the opportunity to intern for Messiah College's Office of Annual Giving. Throughout this internship, my primary responsibility was creating the Development Office's annual newsletter. For this newsletter, which will be mailed out to the public in print form in January, 2019, I was responsible for coming up with ideas for, and writing the six articles as well as creating the layout and design for the newsletter.

The class, taught by Dr. Nance McCown, required students to work in small groups to plan and implement two events, and individually plan two large-scale hypothetical events.

Public Relations Writing
This portion of my portfolio contains samples of all the work completed during myPublic Relations Writing class at Messiah College in the fall semester of 2016.
The class, taught by Dr. Nance McCown, required students to choose a client to "work for" throughout the semester. Students had five client options: Lego, Crayola, American Girl, K'NEX and Melissa and Doug. I chose to work for American Girl
We did not actually work with real professionals at these companies, so many of the projects contain a lot of fictitious information invented for the purpose of our class.
Throughout the class I completed a media kit, newsletter, infographic, brochure and webwriting.
Media Artifact Research
This paper was originally created for my Communication Theory class at Messiah College. For this assignment I was required to conduct original research on a media artifact, and analyze the artifact using a communication theory from the class. However, after completing the assignment I revised the paper and submitted it to the Eastern Communication Association to be presented at the organizations 108th annual conference. My paper was chosen to be presented on an undergraduate scholars panel in May, 2017.
In the Fall of 2016, Messiah College's PRSSA teamed up with fellow student Jason Polansky to launch a campaign called Blindness is Not. The campaigns goal was to share information on blindness and raise awareness for the National Federation of the Blind. As a contribution to Blindness is Not, I wrote an article introducing the campaign which was published on The Pulse, Messiah College's media hub.
