Language Proficiency

Children's Museum Translation (EN-SP)
Translated materials for a Children's museum as part of SPAN-4420 Translation Seminar. My sections are highlighted in yellow and help review the translation of the entire document. The most challenging part was incorporating the wordplay from the original text into our Spanish translation!

Storm Drain Markers Creation
Worked with Greenville County Water to create "no dumping" translations for their storm drains. Although this was a group project, I was the project manager in charge of coordinating the team as well as compiling our research into a presentation for Greenville County Water and a final survey. This project required a lot of research into semantics in the pursuit of finding a neutral translation easily understood across all Spanish speaking communities. Below is the presentation I created and presented to showcase our findings to Greenville County.
Culture and Literature Competency
Business Competency
MTN Dew
In MKT 4230 – Promotional Strategy, my group developed a promotional campaign for a hypothetical collaboration between Hard Mountain Dew and Clemson University. I contributed the idea of a recycled can art contest, where participants would create sculptures from Mountain Dew cans, with the winning entry receiving a sponsored tailgate experience at Clemson. I was responsible for developing and managing the project budget within a limited allocation. Our campaign was evaluated by a former lead marketer for Mountain Dew, and our group’s project was ultimately selected as the top campaign in the class.

Foreign Market Assessment
In my MGT-3030 Global Business course, my group developed a market entry strategy for Buc-ee's into the Australian market. I was responsible for analyzing potential competitors and assessing consumer demand to evaluate market viability. Based on our research, we concluded that Buc-ee’s would be well-positioned for a successful entry, supported by strong brand differentiation and favorable market conditions.
