Samples of Coursework
Throughout my undergraduate degree, I demonstrated my knowledge through various types of projects, papers, reports, etc. Below I have selected two samples of my past work to showcase my linguistic, cultural/literature, and business proficiency.
Linguistic Proficiency

Over the semester, we were assigned a project to start a new business in an assigned country. My partner and I created an adventure park for children in Uruguay.

SPAN 3040: Introduction to Hispanic Literary Forms
In this class, we examined many different Spanish authors such as Antonio Machado, Jorge Luis Borges, Carmen Laforet, and others.
