Crafting Impactful Narratives.
Clear, Confident, and Compelling Presentations
Learn more about my past presentations.
Over the past few years, I have presented to audiences ranging from 10 to over 100 people. Here are some key presentations and the lessons I learned from each experience:
HUC Social Ideas Challenge, 2023
eMerge Americas, Miami, FL
Alongside Quin McGowan and Lauren Wood, I presented our solution to food waste, After Hours Vending, to an audience of over 100 at eMerge Americas 2023. Our social startup partners with coffee shops, bakeries, and donut chains to sell perfectly good pastries that would otherwise be thrown away at the end of the day.
This experience gave me valuable exposure to presenting in high-pressure environments and demonstrated how technology, innovation, and teamwork can effectively address social issues.
A special thanks to Michele DeStefano and Lokesh Ramamoorthi for their invaluable mentorship throughout this process.
COE Pitch Competition, 2024
University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL
At the University of Miami's 2024 College of Engineering Pitch Competition, I presented HUBS alongside Zoey Lee and Rachel Tomasetti. Our eight-person team from Kappa Theta Pi and the computer science department developed a virtual reality platform to enhance university recruitment using XR technology and 360 media. As project manager, I coordinated business, legal, development, and user experience teams, organized pitch decks, and managed overall execution. Our efforts led to securing $10,000 from USTAAR, the university's Student Startup Accelerator.
USTAAR empowers student entrepreneurs by providing financial support and mentorship to transform innovative ideas into viable startups.
Through my hands-on, experiential major in Innovation, Technology, & Design, I have gained valuable experience in public speaking and professionalism, while refining my ability to craft compelling narratives. I excel at creating concise and impactful pitches that integrate consumer stories, primary and secondary research, problem statements, and branding strategies.
