Communication as Advocacy
change requires:
knowledge.
communication,
collective action.
Communications for Advocacy
My major integrated studies in policy, political science, sustainability, environmental ethics, psychology, human rights, project management, educational program development, donor cultivation, and film and media production, alongside non-profit internships and work experiences to understand key social and environmental issues of today. Focused on effective communication as a means to social and systemic change.
Get Planting Capstone Project
For the “Get Planting Event,” I researched the environmental and human health benefits of gardening as a source of food, as well as the negative aspects of dependency on Big Agriculture. I created a proposal for a Home-Garden Supplies Distribution Event, drafted a budget, and cultivated a donor partnership with Sauk Prairie Healthcare that funded the project in its entirety. This distribution event included soil, seeds, and informational packets for every family, and window plants and a gardening practice station for kids. Get planting was organized and put on in collaboration with Sauk Prairie Community Education.
Career Focuses
Knowledge is power. When knowledge, injustices, new perspectives, and paths forward are communicated widely and effectively, others are empowered to act. Communication is key to greater awareness, unified power, and collective action. The Communications for Advocacy major was designed and developed to give me an educational foundation on issues that matter, how to analyze them, and how to act as an advocate and activist in collaboration with others.
