Project Highlights
Photography portfolio: group project January 2016

Worked as part of a group on a photography project to take scenic pictures for our portfolio. As part
of the team, my role was to focus on taking pictures of exotic flowers. I contributed other ideas and
instructions to the rest of the group and worked well with others on uploading the pictures to the
computer, achieving impressive results and positive feedback from the tutor.

Individual presentation January 2016

Presented a 10-minute presentation as part of my course. Decided to create a presentation on the

movie “The Shining”. Researched the movie, and selected some key points that were relevant to the
movie to create the slides. Stood up and delivered a successful presentation to the group. The
project was scored highly and helped me develop my presentation skills.

Excel project January 2016

Worked individually on creating a statistical analysis of population in United States on Excel.

Researched the population of the state; created a formula to conduct calculations on the

population of the most popular state; and then formatted the statistical analysis to make it look
presentable. Delivered a good project to the tutor, receiving positive feedback for high accuracy and
presentation.
