RFP Response

In an entry-level writing class, I chose to respond to Seattle-based Style By Wendy's request for proposal. After partnering with several other local businesses the previous year to pamper a deserving woman in the community, Wendy wanted to establish and expand the program by creating an event. This assignment led to an internship after Wendy received and reviewed the proposal.

Campaign Proposal

For 30 years, Knoxville hosted the country's largest Labor Day fireworks display, Boomsday. 2015 was its final year, leaving the city with very few fall festivals. For our capstone project, three of my peers and I developed  Knoxtober Fest, which was selected by Visit Knoxville as the winning campaign. The event was presented to Visit Knoxville April 25, 2016.
