Academic Preparation

The goal of this project was to focus on a health issue in a specific community and to create a health event in order to help educate and prevent illness in the future. I chose to focus on the greater Ohio community as they have seen drastic ramifications from the prescription drug epidemic. I created a fictitious organization that created health events for the community. For instance, I created events centered around MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) for the month of March getting individuals involved in their community and educating them about a larger issue. To the left is the link to the website for the organization. 

Playful Learning Assignment
Course: EDF3514 History of Education
Instructor: Dr. Wright
Semester: Fall 2022
Project Grade: 95/100

The goal for this project was to create an "UnEssay" project in which we researched a topic and created a medium to present our topics. I chose to focus on the importance of play in elementary classrooms and to present my ideas in a brochure format. I researched the importance of free play and deep play in the learning atmosphere on brain development. In this pamphlet, I created a potential learning theory for schools to adopt that highlights play as a means of teaching. To the left is the link to both the brochure and the accompanying paper.

My Virtual Life Assignment
Course: DEP3053 Developmental Psychology
Instructor: Dr. Klimenko
Semester: Fall 2022
Project Grade: 90/100

The goal for this project was to virtually raise a child and make all decisions regarding their upbringing, including but not limited to the childcare, education, diet, etc. After 18 years worth of decisions and virtual upbringing, you receive reports about how the child did at different stages of life. From there I wrote this paper regarding the philosophy and theory in mind while raising my virtual child, Bentley. To the left is a link to my paper discussing the choices I made regarding the theory I chose.
