EXAMPLE CAPSTONES

I am honored to do a capstone for a Non-profit organization called Able Women which is based out of Montrose at Ross Reels and is managed by Colleen Aller. The goal of Able Women is to spread the message of how fly fishing is a great way to improve mental spiritual, and physical health for women. They are trying to connect ladies from all over the world, so they are able to lift each other up and go fly fishing together to create lifelong friends. I have designed social media for Able Women that features women, fly shops, and destinations from all around the world. I made a website platform that creates easy access to connect with others. I was partnered with a mentor named Kelly Brown who has a masters in marketing, plus tons of experience with small businesses. From her, I learned how to correctly market a message and utilize social media design software. Overall, I love fly fishing for the peace of mind one gets when out on the water. Fly Fishing is a huge relaxer and escape, and I feel like it can be the same for many others. I truly see the market for women fly fishing due to all the benefits it provides and am excite to promote it.
