de·vel·op·ment noun (di-ˈve-ləp-mənt)
1. The act or process of growing or causing something to grow or become larger or more advanced
I am constantly working to develop different aspects of my life. I want to grow on a personal and professional level. I want to advance my knowledge of policy and fundraising. I want to create a space where all of this development is displayed.
2. The act or process of creating something over a period of time
This e-portfolio will show you how I have been advancing my policy skills through an exploration of my studies at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Professionally, I have grown and continue to grow through internship experiences. Personally, I throw myself outside of my comfort zone and accomplish my goals, a process that is documented through blogging.
3. The state of being created or made more advanced
Over time, I have undergone the process of creating myself as a writer, and this e-portfolio provides the evidence of my development: writing samples that were created over time to advance me toward my best self.
The purpose of this E-Portfolio is to display my work from the gateway semester of the Sweetland Minor in Writing. This class has challenged me to take risks and learn new writing skills such as video creation and blogging while improving upon my previous writing knowledge, such as drafting and editing. I encourage you to look at my progress from the semester.
Writing Development: Hear about why I write. Notice what inspires my Minor in Writing projects. Navigate through my re-purposing and re-mediating projects. Check out my blog posts.
Additionally, artifacts from my other coursework are included in this portfolio. This semester was my first in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. In the past few months I have learned policy writing techniques as well as how economic analysis plays into policymaking. These skills were added to a foundation of academic skills I've accumulated throughout my time at The University of Michigan through courses such as political theory and public health. Please see examples of how I've grown academically this semester.
Academic Development: Familiarize yourself with my time in the Ford School of Public Policy. Read through some of my environmental and social policy writing. See what I've learned about applying political theory to historical contexts. Browse through my public health journal.
Writing isn't strictly academic for me. I enjoy writing for internships as well as writing for pleasure. Over the semester I have refined resumes and cover letters, journaled extensively, established short and long term goals, and learned more about myself through writing. Artifacts related to my personal development in my e-portfolio highlight this growth.
Personal Development: Learn a bit about me. Find out how I have spent my time these past three years. Click through a list of my short and long term goals. Discover how to get in touch with me.
Enjoy this e-portfolio, a comprehensive view of my writing in a variety of contexts.
