This is Bet on Georgia, a pitch assignment for my Intro to Public Affairs Communication class that we presented in front of our peers. Through this project, I learned how to craft a persuasive and engaging pitch centered on a topic I’m passionate about. The experience taught me how to clearly communicate ideas, connect with an audience, and use storytelling techniques to make my message memorable. Presenting in front of my classmates also helped me build confidence and refine my public speaking skills, which are essential for effective advocacy and communications work.
