Letter to Hypothetical Editing ClientThis was a project I completed for a Professional Editing class. The assignment was to find a menu from a local restaurant and pretend I had been hired by the owner to redesign the menu. I then wrote a hypothetical letter to the client detailing and explaining the changes I would make.

Metaphor CriticismIn this essay, I take a critical and analytical look at one of the metaphors used by the apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians, closely examining its purpose, its context, its effectiveness, and the ideology that results from it. I chose this metaphor in particular both because of my faith in (and thus familiarity with) the Bible, and because the way he uses metaphor is so unique, with both the tenor and the vehicle of the metaphor shaping how the other is understood.

Childhood NarrativeThis short narrative focuses on one of the most surreal places of my childhood—a small clearing in the woods near my house. The precise details of the event which I describe are largely fabricated, but the purpose was to capture the essence of the place through my younger self's eyes.

Instruction Set for Oil PaintingIn a technical writing class, I was tasked to create an instruction set for something I was knowledgable about. The goal was to choose a specific target audience and ensure that the instruction set was easily accessible to them.
The second part of the project was to create a video to go along with the instruction set, keeping the same target audience in mind. |

Digital NarrativeThis is a digital narrative on which I collaborated. The three of us working on it had each written a text narrative earlier in the semester, and we were tasked with creating a video that brought all three of our stories together and explored a common theme among them. My role in the project included gathering some of the footage, revising the script, and the majority of the audio and video editing.

Audio TextScapeIn this audio project, I explore the notion of the flâneur, conceived by the poet Charles Baudelaire in 19th-Century Paris, as it relates to the act of drifting—of purposely aimless movement. I recorded all the spoken word and the majority of the sounds, and I edited all of it together in Audacity.
