My Projects
Portfolio
Marketing Research Project
This was an academic project for my marketing class. My team and I worked together to gather research on behalf of Habitat for Humanity. In order to help the non-profit organization gain brand recognition through social media and how to better utilize social media for marketing.
​
This particular project allowed me to sharpen my skills in data analytics and evaluated such data to recommend Habitat for Humanity a solution that will help them communicate with their target market to increase brand recognition and social media marketing.
Marketing Research Presentation
This presentation goes in conjunction with the previous project. In this particular presentation, my team and I are summarizing and presenting to the rest of the class what we were able to collect, find and recommend for Habitat for Humanity.
​
With this presentation, it allowed me to present data findings and be able to expand and explain to a group of individuals who were not familiarized with the information. I was also able to demonstrate the significance of the data and why our recommendations would help the organization.
Business Communication Project
This project was for my Business Communication course, my team and I had to present ourselves as part of a corporation, which we choose PepsiCo. In this project, we addressed the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, fictitiously, on how we would help the Dallas community by partnering with The Texas Women's Foundation.
​
With this presentation, it allowed my team and I to create a business proposal that allowed us to gain skills in data findings, planning, budgeting and how we planned to give back to the community.
