Communication

Understandably, perhaps, this section comprises the bulk of my portfolio, as it emcompasses most of my work that I’ve done in professional writing. Below, you’ll find quick explanations for each section with a link to visit.

Master’s Thesis: My raison d’être, or how I conceive of my work as a professional communicator.

Stylistics: All about understanding how sentences work — and what happens when they don’t — this section includes an example of using stylistics to critically examine student-level work.

Document Design: Moving from the rhetorical to the practical, these documents illustrate the progress I’ve made in creating useful, practical designs.

Public Relations: This work covers many parts of public relations, from social media coding to creating a public relations campaign.

Social Media: Two pieces are included, including a presentation looking at authenticity in social media and a spec social media guide, which builds upon my previous work in Public Relations.

Strategic Communications: Covering a wide range of topics, from crisis communications to focus groups, this work has enabled me to broaden my skill set.

Communications Intern: working for a local public school system, I was able to put my new knowledge of usability and plain language to work as I produced new public-facing documentation for their website.
