This PowerPoint was a cumulation of my research for United Planning Organization (UPO), a Community Action Agency in Washington, DC. My research was done in the housing sector, and I decided to narrow my research to Accessory Dwelling Units. I presented this project to UPO management and CEO at the end of my summer internship.

I wrote this term paper on the idea of re-writing the internet as we know it. The internet has been a place to connect, but it's also been a place where misinformation and disinformation are rampant. I discuss current social media regulations, as well as new platforms emerging with ideas on how to make the internet a better, safer place.

This piece is a scientific literature review over a well-sourced scientific literature anthology, Galileo's Commandment: An Anthology of Great Science Writing. In this piece, I propose a newly added chapter to the anthology made up of pieces that are already included.

A creative nonfiction piece detailing the popular prescription acne medication most commonly referred to as Accutane. In researching for this paper, I learned about the physical and emotional side effects of the drug while uncovering misogynistic regulations regarding the dispensing of the drug.

Designed, formatted, and edited this section of a manual for the Missouri State Citizenship and Service Learning office. The manual was created for the director of the Vision Screening Program, a program that provides free eye exams to underfunded schools and daycares.

An article I wrote for The Standard dissecting college binge-drinking culture. I discuss the commonly known phrase, "You're not an alcoholic until you graduate," and the dangerous implications it can have on students.

An article for The Standard, in which I take a look back into Mac Miller's short but unbelievably successful music career. His post-humorous album came as shock to fans, but the feelings were overwhelmingly positive.

A column piece for The Standard regarding singer Doja Cat's rise to fame. I discuss how a viral YouTube video sent the singer into stardom. Then, I recall her discography that followed and how it gained viral status, too.
