Project Overview
My role for this project involved developing content, marketing materials, and merchandise for the Miami University Student Foundations’ annual Bike Race event (Spring 2025). I collaborated closely with two other marketing team members, Grace Imhoff and Sydney Hayes, to execute cohesive and engaging deliverables. Through this experience, I strengthened my ability to work under tight timelines, iterate quickly based on feedback, and communicate effectively within a team environment.

Project Summary
Throughout this experience, I strengthened my ability to clearly communicate ideas and collaborate effectively within a team setting. I gained confidence in delegating tasks and ensuring our work stayed aligned and cohesive. Additionally, I expanded my technical skillset through hands-on use of Canva Pro and Adobe Creative Suite, while developing a stronger understanding of design principles and how to apply them strategically across marketing content.
