Election Coverage
For my Audience Engagement class, myself and a partner ventured out into the Malibu Community, speaking with locals about their thoughts on the national and local election. We then put together a complete voter guide, a compilation of important policy details, voter resources, and candidate information. We developed the project to fit various media platforms.

Personality Profile
For the same Audience Engagement class we were asked to highlight a community member that had never before been featured in student media content. I chose to highlight Swan Gerlach, a Pepperdine senior who developed an on-campus dance ministry. I developed a digital story and multimedia elements to enhance the visual aspect of her journey and increase audience interaction with the content.

This article provides a quick snapshot into the development of Jesus Moves and Gerlach’s background in dance and faith.

I developed an Instagram carousel featuring photos of both Gerlach as a young dancer and her time with Jesus Moves. Additionally, I edited a mini package of the story into an Instagram Reel using recordings of the interview as well as photos.
-
The final digital element I chose to add was a Pinterest board for the ministry featuring images from Gerlach as well as ones generated from the internet that centered around dance and worship.
