MY PROJECTS
PLANNING & IMPLEMENTING EVENTS & PROGRAMS | Spring 2016
The comprehensive program plan was my major solo project in Event Management and Operation I. We had to outline the company culture of a selected business and create three programs as well as explain the need for those programs. From the three programs, we had to select one to further develop as though it would be implemented and evaluated. This project helped me understand the time needed to develop an event plan, especially one that could potentially be replicated annually.
COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM PLAN
ISSUES IN HORTICULTURE | Spring 2015
This project was completed in my freshman writing intensive course. The project outlines were to evaluate the five forces affecting entry of a business into the market. I selected the wedding planning industry due to my previous knowledge and interest in the business from my high school job. This project helped me gain valuable knowledge on the major areas to inspect when considering making changes to or starting a business. It also helped me further develop my skills in Microsoft Word. I had quite a bit of fun developing the visual design for this project.
FIVE FORCES
ANALYSIS
TOURISM MANAGEMENT | Fall 2016
For my Tourism Management class, we were asked to analyze a case study of a tourism business, pin point problems within the company, and offer solutions for the most pressing problem in our opinion. This project helped me to deeply evaluate processes and seek areas for improvement, even if the processes are currently successful. The saying that kept coming to me mind was "the most dangerous words are 'but we've always done it this way.'" I am a firm believe that managers and employees should always be seeking out areas to improve upon.
CASE STUDY ANALYSIS
APPLICABLE TOURISM PRINCIPLES | Fall 2015
For this project, I was paired with five other group members. Our goal was to create a tourism business and unique marketing plan that would be appealing to the rapidly growing Chinese tourism market . As research for the project, we were in frequent communication with a university in China. This project opened my eyes to the international market of tourism as well as helped develop my trans-continental communication skills.
WEDDING BELLES
EVENT MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS I | Fall 2016
I was paired with seven other group members for this course capstone project. Our goal was to develop an event proposal and "playbook" which outlined the details of a single special event plan. This playbook included a detailed marketing plan, location analysis, day of timeline, elements of decor, a comprehensive budget, sustainability initiatives, and then a detailed timeline of planning leading up the the event. The final proposal was made in front of David Gardner representatives. This project helped give me great experience in gathering information and compiling it into a professional presentation.
SPECIAL EVENT
PROPOSAL
TECHNICAL BUSINESS WRITING | Fall 2015
I was asked to identify a major problem with my current or past place of work and develop a solution for the problem. After doing research on the implications the changes would have on our business, I developed a professional proposal to submit to my manager. This project helped me develop a strong sense of professional communication as well as showed me the importance of doing research on what similar business are doing in your field .
PROJECT
PROPOSAL
TOURISM MANAGEMENT | Fall 2016
This was a semester long group project. Our goal was to develop a profitable entrepreneurial business. We were asked to outline a Regulatory Analysis, Financial Analysis, Location Analysis, Management Analysis, Marketing Analysis, and Feasibility Determination. We were then asked to present a "pitch" to the class about the details of our business plan as if we were presenting to a Board of Investors. This project helped develop every aspect that a manager would encounter in a business and then push them to the extremes by developing them in a new business. My group was faced with real organizational challenges and financial problems that had to be solved before presenting the final project. This project was gave me the opportunity to apply the knowledge of each subject we discussed in class to a real world situation.
