My Personal Exploration Projects (PEPs) have covered a variety of topics throughout the course of my four years in Big Picture, giving me the ability to explore a wide range of fields. I've been able to enjoy the creativity and have the freedom to investigate interests-related subjects. This style of learning has allowed me to rule out, narrow down and hone in on my primary interests which have been related to finance, business, marketing, nutrition, psychology & marine science. All projects have allowed me to use different learning strategies, whether that entails conversing with experts or developing relationships with new individuals to further my knowledge.
Below are a few of my PEPs that serve as examples.
