Grant Proposal

This is a grant proposal I wrote for my Writing for Nonprofits class. We picked a real nonprofit to pitch our ideas to, however, the names used in the project are fake. The proposal includes each step of grant writing such as an executive summary, narrative, and dissemination plan. We also came up with social media ideas and campaigns to tie into our missions.

This is an article I wrote for the Butler Eagle regarding couples that got married after going on blind dates. I interviewed one couple in person, and the other over the phone. This project helped me gain skills in interviewing and coming up with thought-provoking questions.

Professor by Day, Entertainer by Night

This is an interview story with lead singer Rishi Bahl of Eternal Boy. I asked Rishi multiple questions about nostalgia in his music; how does it make his songs stronger? How does he use it as a marketing tool? The story went very well and Rishi said the questions were some of the best he has been asked.

Heelys Ad, Writing for Advertising

In a Writing for Advertising class, we had to create a strategy statement for a print ad. Afterwards, we created it. Our ad was for Heelys, the shoe/roller skate hybrid. Using nostalgia as a key factor in the advertisement, it targets young professionals.

Album Cover, Publication Design

This is an assignment from my Publication Design class. Our goal was to create an album cover for an imaginary band our professor created. There were multiple choices, but mine was a punk band called "Lobsters, Guns, & Eddie." After multiple photoshoots, I finally found something I was happy with. I took the photo through some filters and touched them up in Photoshop. I completed the project in Microsoft Publisher.

News Broadcast Project

This was a news broadcast project that I helped edit and produce. With a group of three, we each shared a story and produced news segments that looked real and professional. My section dealt with the Steelers' offseason moves and draft. We also produced a script for each story.

Tech Deck "Pocket Sized Imagination"

I co-directed this TV commercial for an advertising class. We were in a group of four and each of us played a part in putting this together. I focused on target markets and a creative brief, while others storyboarded and developed a separate digital campaign. Using Adobe Premiere and a Sony A7iii, we created an ad that targeted both the main Tech Deck market and multiple other potential clients.
