ACADEMIC SAMPLES
Improving the Olympic Experience for Remote Athletes uring LA28
Business Communications
I presented a proposal to LA28 sponsors and partnerships focused on their sustainability plan to utilize existing venues rather than building new permanent stadiums. My group proposed a targeted strategy to bring football players to Los Angeles following the conclusion of their competition, rather than returning home, so they could experience the Olympic environment and remain a part of the Games.
Improving Youth Participation in Baseball
Principles of Marketing
I created a marketing plan focused on helping reverse the decline in youth baseball participation by researching the biggest reasons families are leaving the sport, including rising costs, long game times, and limited offseason opportunities. My group developed Fast Break Baseball, a low-cost program built around a 90-minute game format, shorter and faster-paced play, indoor winter access, and a more realistic schedule for parents with multiple kids. The project targeted boys ages 10–16 in the Midwest and Northeast, where participation has seen a major drop-off.
Tackling the CTE Problem
Medical Narratives
I researched the NFL's growing response to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and proposed alternatives to current safety measures that are not doing enough to protect players' long-term health. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies and expert opinions, my solutions included non-contact practices, expanded use of Guardian Caps, and promoting flag football for youth.
