In my Honors BIO102 class, we had to do end-of-semester projects. We had to pick a Research paper that was published and make an abstract on a website. We also had to further explain the research conducted and back it up with other sources. I really enjoyed this project because I was able to research and talk about something that I am very passionate about. 

In my Forensic Ethics course, I was assigned a research project with a partner, Gabrielle Highland. We had to pick a forensic case where there were many ethical and legal issues so we could learn from the mistakes, so history doesn't repeat itself.  We chose the Ford Height Four Case. We each wrote a paper about the topic and then made a short presentation to teach the class about the case. 

In the Spring of 2024, I competed in the School of Philanthropy's scholarship competition, Pitch Your Passion. I didn't win the main full-ride scholarship, but I did walk away with $1500 to help with my tuition. During this all-day event, I worked with two other students to put together a PowerPoint and speech in two hours. We didn't know our topic until the two hours began.  Our topic was Mental Health and we had full creative freedom to do whatever we wanted. Kensdiana Fleurant and Jasiah Komenda were my two amazing partners, and I am very proud of what we were able to put together in such a short amount of time. I would also like to acknowledge our two coaches who helped us complete this task and feel good about it, Zoie Alger and Kimberly Hestermann.
