In this portfolio, it will showcase the work I have curated throughout my time at UCCS and in the Innovation program. All these works are insignificant without the context of the Bachelor of Innovation because with it demonstrates the skills to create multiple projects as well as videos while working in teams that are made of multi-disciplinary people to create end- products that incorporate aspects from different majors. These different majors all contribute to the uniqueness of the end-product which makes for an innovative impact of the project because it was not confined within one major or skill set. I hope to create my own impact within the world using the skills and tools I have learned from the Bachelor of Innovation and show how inter- disciplinary people can and should work together to change the world in their image.

Education
August 2019-December 2022
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
I graduated in December 2022 with a Bachelor's of Innovation in Digital Filmmaking from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Since I was young, every adult has told me to find hobbies or jobs that would set me apart from other people when I eventually applied for a career. I would join clubs and sports, anything to add to my resumé and to put me at the top of all other candidates. However, I soon realized that everyone else was hearing the same things, so everyone had their own special skills and experience. I could have hundreds of jobs and internships, but so would everyone else. I decided that I needed to pursue an education that no one else was doing that would create the skill set I needed to impact the world the way I wanted to. When I came to University of Colorado Colorado Springs, I went to an orientation where I first learned of the Bachelor of Innovation program, an accredited degree within the University where students would work with other multi-disciplinary students to complete a client project and how to advocate for yourself as a business and a person. I decided to get my digital film making degree within the Bachelor of Innovation, because I knew that it would be the perfect course for me to learn how to run my business, my way.
