Projects
Leadership Positions
Marketing Research Report
Over the course of a semester, I completed a 96 page research report for Reborn Coffee.
In order to do this a partner and I conducted industry research through, web searches, customer interviews, and focus groups. We were then able to develop a 2 page survey which was then distributed to 100 Reborn customers.
This data was then collected and analyzed in order to provide valuable recommendations to improve customer satisfaction, increase consumer base, and establish tangible avenues for revenue growth.
Target Market Project
This project was completed in the Fall of 2019 which resulted in an 80 page report on two businesses. This report analyzed each business's promotional strategies, price of products, placements of buildings, employee and customer relations, etc. This project pushed me in my creative thinking skills and helped me apply myself both as a student and as a future businessman.
President of Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club
Through this club, I had to work with a small team to organize school events for high school students. With these events, we would have professional athletes either at the college level or higher, come to the school and speak on their experience in their particular sport in relation to their walk with Christ. These events were organized to encourage high schoolers in their own sport and give them tips on how to glorify the Lord while succeeding as an athlete.
This position taught me a lot in regards to event planning, student outreach, team communication, and public advertising. I was proud to represent such a great organization, as well as blessed to be in a position where I could spread the Gospel through the medium of athletics. The skills Iearned throughout this time has helped me in all of the work opportunities I've had and will continue to in my future endeavors.
If I were to do this again, I would try to work on advertising better. I would try to survey which sport the students were into the most, and using that data, would try to find athletes that would then spark their interest. I would also try to try to involve more communication within the inner team, in order to produce a quality event.
Bay Area College Ministry
