MY PROJECTS
This PowerPoint was completed during my Interviewing course where as a group we were given the opportunity to interview more than 10 Individuals on campus regarding mental health. Some of these Individuals included professors, students, and other campus faculty. These are the results that were found during our study.
This presentation was completed during my Examining Communication class where we used different ways of critiquing different artifacts. Some of these ways of critiquing included consisted of Neo-Aristotelian, Ideological, Fantasy, and cluster criticism. I chose to critique the Black-Eyed Peas song and music video Where is the Love? This song is iconic and will go down as one of the most influential videos and songs of the 21st century.
CLICK HERE FOR ANALYSIS PAPER
This paper was written for my Compensation Management course. As a group we were assigned to write a paper and then debate why teachers should be payed based upon merit. This was one of my favorite classes I've ever been apart of because it gave me an understanding for how Benefits specialist came up with pay scales.
BU Track & Field
Throughout my time at Bloomsburg I was able to be apart of two sports that I love very much, Baseball and Track & Field. I was only apart of the baseball team for 1 short year, and during that year I was redshirted (did not play). After 1 year I decided to join the Track & Field team and run for BU. Running Track & Field allowed me to get my body into better shape, make great friends, meet goals, and meet my wonderful girlfriend Autumn. Track pushed me mentally, physically, and academically, to better myself. To the right you can are able to see some of my best photos that were taken of me while participating in Track & Field. To the right you can find a link to a video that shows what it is like to be a Track & Field athlete here at BU. Even further down at the bottom of the page you can find my progression through the years as a Track athlete.
