The first writing sample is from an English class at OU, where I was tasked with writing a persuasive essay on the topic of my choosing. I wrote to the founder of Zara asking to reevaluate harmful fast fashion business practices. This paper was published in the OU South Oval Review and was awarded runner-up in the First Year Composition competition.
This is a sample of an AP style reported news story I wrote about Crimson Cares, a philanthropy week hosted by the OU chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. This was an assignment for the Media Writing and Storytelling course in Gaylord.
This final writing sample is a statement that I submitted in law school applications to help admissions committees get to know more about me. This is an example of creative writing and storytelling.
