Below is a short list of skills I’ve cultivated throughout my academic studies and professional experience.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Liberal Arts 101 Group Project: Campus Counseling Services Presentation
For my Liberal Arts 101 group project on campus counseling services, I applied real-world collaboration strategies to an academic setting. Working with a partner, we coordinated virtual meetings around our work schedules, divided tasks based on individual strengths, and designed visually focused slides to maximize audience engagement. The result was a polished presentation that effectively increased awareness of underutilized student resources, demonstrating my ability to adapt workplace teamwork tactics to achieve measurable outcomes.
Research & Strategic Analysis
english 101 Research paper: “From Pollock to Pokémon: How Cultural Exports Have Reshaped Global Influence”
My English 101 research paper on the role of cultural exports as soft power required synthesizing 80 years of geopolitical strategy into a cohesive argument. By analyzing sources and scholarly critiques ranging from Cold War-era art policies to modern K-pop diplomacy, I built an evidence-based case for the economic and political value of culture. This project honed my ability to identify global trends and distill complex information into a persuasive argument.
Adaptability & Crisis Management
Live Event Audio/Video Production
Working live events taught me to troubleshoot technical issues under pressure, adjust to unpredictable conditions (lighting changes, equipment failures), and deliver results despite these constraints. These high-stakes environments strengthened my ability to think on my feet, a skill that will undoubtedly continue to serve me well through my professional and academic journey.
Critical Media Literacy
Textual analysis through an interdisciplinary Liberal Arts framework
Through my coursework across several classes, including my analysis of the film Nightcrawler, I’ve developed a critical eye for identifying persuasive techniques across various media, a skill directly applicable to content creation, brand strategy, or any role requiring nuanced visual communication. I’ve leveraged my love for visual arts beyond casual viewing to actively analyze performances, filmmaking techniques, and artistic intent, while using my writing skills to analyze thematic content and uncover layers of meaning. This interdisciplinary approach lets me articulate how specific creative choices reinforce or subvert cultural narratives, making me adept at both crafting and critiquing messages in professional contexts.
