Projects
Little Dog Big Philly. Senior project and ongoing effort.
​
I created a guide for dog owners living in Philadelphia with this website (www.littledogbigphilly.com) in 2015 as part of a class project. I continue to maintain, write, and promote it to this day. While it is my personal endeavor, it is a source of high-quality professional content that provides an outlet for
many of my interests and skills. I facilitate every step of the article writing process, from locating an interview subject and crafting questions to writing and editing stories. I host the site with a server on SiteGround.com and maintain it with WordPress.org. I promote my website with active, professional social media profiles on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Trash Talk. Drexel Humanities Fellowship project.​
​
I was selected as one of only 15 students in an undergraduate class of over 5,000 students to participate in the 2014 College of Arts and Sciences Humanities Fellowship Program. For my project, I worked one-on-one with a professor to write a scholarly literature review on how people communicate about trash. Over the three-month summer term, I conducted a massive search for relevant scholarly research. I read over 100 articles to determine relevancy, and crafted webs of
related hypotheses, methods, and findings. At the culmination of the project, I presented my findings to a group of Drexel University researchers at the Lindy Institute Networking Breakfast.
