PROJECTS
ECONOMIC RESEARCH PAPER
For my ECMT 461 class, we were required to write a research paper as one of the major requirements of this writing-intensive course. For the paper, we were required to select a dataset, a predictor variable and three sub-groups to test the correlation of our predictor variable amongst the primary group and sub-groups. My paper focuses on the economic question: Does an Undergraduate's Choice of Major affect their Future Wage? In my paper, I learned about deciphering the correlation between variables through the use of previous literature reviews, descriptive and graphical analyses, as well as constructing single and two sample confidence intervals and hypothesis tests. A PDF of my research paper can be found below.
REGRESSION MODEL PAPER
A s part of my ECMT 463 class requirements, we were assigned a writing project to analyze a published economics paper. We were instructed to select a published economics paper that utilized a regression to estimate a causal effect. In the paper, my group and I decided to analyze the survey data collected in Alan Beggs and Kathryn Graddy's publication. Utilizing the ordinary least-squares regression, we reviewed the anchoring effect on the sale price of contemporary art auctioned at Christie’s King Street in London between 1982 and 1994. This paper allowed me to review the significance of a causal relationship, as studied throughout the semester, in the real world of art. A PDF of my group's paper is linked below.
Personal Budget Assignment
Per the requirements of my ACCT 210 course, we were assigned to create a personal budget to help students budget, plan, be resourceful and financially responsible for our lives 6 months after starting work. For the assignment, we were given specifications as to our work and living situation and how we would budget to ensure financial stability under these circumstances. Utilizing Excel, we were instructed to create a 6 month budget, creating formulas that would assist us in figuring out how to manage our money during our first job after college. This assignment was a great opportunity for me to utilize my knowledge of Excel and apply it to a real-world scenario, and I plan to utilize this in the future. My work can be found below.
HTML Project
A s part of my BS Economics requirements, we are encouraged to take ACCT 210, which includes participating in the HTML Group Project. This project taught me many lessons, such as planning ahead, organizing a team, ensuring the completion of each member's portion, and ultimately how to create a website through the use of coding and HTML 5. For the duration of this project, my team utilized Visual Studio Code to create our website. This project was a major breakthrough in my fear for code, and it even encouraged me to work on my own website, giving me the confidence and initiative to work on the website you're viewing right now. My group's ZIP file can be found below. Once downloaded, feel free to navigate!
NOTION TEMPLATE
While serving as a Hullabaloo U Peer Mentor, I had a lot of students coming to me with worries and struggles of disorganization and fear of turning in late assignments. Since I had an issue with procrastination during my high school years, I decided to utilize the Notion application to combat this and encourage involvement in my academic career and success. Therefore, I decided to create a template for my Hullabaloo U students with the use of Notion to allow them to organize their personal and academic lives. The template is fully customizable and Aggie-oriented. Feel free to use it for your own successes!
Below are a few of the projects I have completed as a part of my core Economics curriculum as well as my Business minor. I thoroughly enjoyed each of these projects as they challenged me while stimulating my academic and personal growth.
