Projects
Finance Projects
While studying Finance and Accounting at Oregon State University, I have been able to grow my skills through various projects.
In Corporate Finance class, I was required to create a financial analysis presentation on Intel. I spent two months reviewing Intel's financial statements, annual report, stock data, and company information. I performed a debt analysis, equity analysis, payout analysis, risk assessment, and proposed an acquisition. This product gave me real-world financial analysis experience and taught me more about how corporate finance works.
In Financial Planning class, I was given a sample client to do a comprehensive financial analysis for. I was able to learn how a financial planner reviews and analyzes a client's finances. I consolidated all of their details into a Balance Sheet and Income Statement. I calculated key financial ratios, such as emergency fund and debt ratios. I reviewed their insurance coverage and recommended additional insurance. In addition, I created a retirement, estate, tax, and investment plan. This project was valuable as I was able to experience the career that I hope to pursue in the near future.
Comedic Catholics Social Media Management
Over a year ago, two friends and I created a Christian comedy social media account, which we have been managing ever since. We currently have over 70,000 and 16,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok respectively, along with a few other platforms. I work on the management side of the account, managing our merchandise, finances, and posting schedule. We have been successful by posting consistently, coming up with valuable and humorous content, and connecting with our followers. Check out our website to learn more!
Water Bottle Business - ThirstTrap
At Oregon State University, all freshman business students are tasked with creating their own micro-business. Our team created a metal water bottle business that customized them with a laser engraver. I was the director of marketing for our team. My main tasks were leading the three members of marketing, creating all branding, running our online marketing, and gaining sales. I also learned how to track finances, earn a profit, and laser engrave. This project taught me important lessons on leadership, operations, finance, and marketing.
Good Neighbor Center Documentary
At Jesuit High School, I took Broadcast Journalism. This class immersed me in video editing, interviewing, and broadcasting. Our main project of the year was to create a documentary. My documentary covers the Good Neighbor Center, a homeless shelter for families, and how they help to solve the issue of homelessness. I used research, interviews, videography, and video editing to complete this documentary. Not only did I learn about video production from this project, but also how we can better serve those who suffer from homelessness.
Podcast
In Broadcast Journalism, we were also tasked with creating a podcast. These four episodes cover topics that are of great interest to me. I am fascinated by the new technologies that surround us every day. I am also intrigued with the great feats of engineering throughout our world.
