Making everyday information easier to understand and use.

I’m exploring the practical overlap between business and technology through independent projects, school involvement, peer tutoring, and part-time work. I’m especially interested in business, information systems, analytics, technology, and entrepreneurship, and I’m still exploring where those interests may lead.

02 / SELECTED WORK

Things I’ve Built

Two independent projects that turn practical information into something people can use.

Independent Excel project Summer 2026

Student Budget Planner

I created a workbook to help students with part-time or irregular income plan where their money will go, compare planned and actual spending, and track progress toward a savings goal.

I organized the categories, built the workbook structure, added formulas, wrote the instructions, entered clearly labeled sample data, and created a visual summary.

Project note: This is a student-created planning tool containing demonstration data. It is not financial advice.

What a viewer can inspectCategories, planned and actual values, a summary, and a comparison chart.
Need

Make irregular income and monthly choices easier to plan.

Structure

Inputs, formulas, variance, categories, and instructions.

Result

A usable workbook with a visual summary and sample data.

Start Here Start Here worksheet with four instructions for using the Student Budget Planner and a fictional-data notice.
Instructions establish what to enter, what to review, and how sample values should be treated.
Monthly Budget Monthly Budget worksheet showing sample income, expense categories, variance calculations, and savings progress.
The main working sheet connects planned and actual spending with variance and savings progress.

03 / WEB PROJECT

Independent web project Summer 2026

Riverside Neighborhood Resource Collective Website

Preview of the fictional Riverside Neighborhood Resource Collective website home page.

I created a simple informational website for a fictional community organization that needed one clear place to explain its programs, weekly availability, volunteer options, and contact process.

I organized the information, planned the page structure, wrote the fictional sample content, implemented the HTML and CSS, and added a small JavaScript enhancement for mobile navigation.

Organize
Programs, schedule, volunteering, contact
Build
Semantic HTML, responsive CSS, basic JavaScript
Support
Skip link, mobile navigation, reduced motion
Explore the website

Project note: Riverside Neighborhood Resource Collective and its programs are fictional. This project demonstrates student-level information organization and basic web design; it is not a live community deployment.

04 / RECONSTRUCTED METHOD

Informal peer-tutoring initiative Spring 2026–Present

Study Steps

I created Study Steps as a simple approach for helping younger students work through assignments that initially feel difficult to organize.

I prepare basic practice materials, coordinate sessions through adult-approved channels, and help students divide an assignment into manageable steps.

Representative Study Steps method

This sequence is a portfolio reconstruction of the supported Study Steps approach rather than a record of one specific tutoring session.

  1. 01

    Read the assignment

  2. 02

    Restate the task in plain language

  3. 03

    Break it into smaller steps

  4. 04

    Practice one example

  5. 05

    Try the next example

  6. 06

    Review what helped and identify the next action

05 / FOLLOW-THROUGH

Responsibility
in Practice

Different settings, one recurring habit: organize what needs attention and follow through within the role.

01

Weekend Customer Service Assistant

Independent bookstore and café June 2026–Present

I greet customers, help with routine questions, organize shelves and café supplies, prepare simple pickup orders, and keep shared customer areas orderly. When something falls outside my role, I check with a supervisor.

02

Class Treasurer

2025–2026 school year

I helped maintain meeting notes related to class funds, organize approved information, and share adviser-approved updates with classmates while working with the faculty adviser and other class officers.

03

Winter Essentials Donation Drive Committee

2025–2026 school year

As a student committee participant, I helped prepare collection signs, organize a volunteer schedule, sort donated items, and communicate reminders.

04

Community Connections Club

Member

I participate in planning discussions and school or community service activities when available.
