Grounded: DC-10 Short Film

This short film is the product of my Media Literacies class, analyzing how society and media has shaped social perception of a well-known airliner.

As an avid commercial aviation fan, this review came just a few weeks after the unfortunate accident of UPS 2976, drawing immediate relation to American Airlines 191. That served as the purpose to do a comparative analysis between the two crashes plus another pair of crashes: American Airlines 96 & Turkish Airlines 981. With both pairs of accidents having the same issue (first pair had cargo door explosions resulting in hydraulic loss, and the second pair had their an engine separate from the pylon), the project led to the comparative presentation of this short film.

Organizational Growth & Chapter Reactivation

President, American Marketing Association (AMAxPacific)

  • As President of AMAxPacific, I led the reactivation and strategic rebuilding of the university’s American Marketing Association chapter. The role focused on transforming a dormant organization into an active, professionally oriented community centered on marketing education, collaboration, and career development.

    The initiative required both organizational leadership and marketing strategy—repositioning the chapter to attract members, rebuild credibility, and establish a sustainable foundation for long-term growth.

  • The AMA chapter had become inactive for over 10 years, with limited structure, low engagement, and no clear pathway for member involvement or professional development. Without a functioning leadership team or national affiliation, the organization lacked both credibility and direction.

    This created a gap for students seeking hands-on marketing experience, networking opportunities, and exposure to the broader marketing industry.

  • I led a full-scale rebuild of the organization, focusing on leadership, positioning, and member engagement.

    Key initiatives included:
    – Reconstructing the executive board to establish leadership stability and operational capacity
    – Re-establishing national affiliation with the American Marketing Association to enhance credibility and access to external resources
    – Developing a clearer organizational identity centered on marketing experience and professional growth
    – Creating collaborative opportunities for members to engage in marketing-related initiatives and skill development

    This approach positioned the chapter as both a community and a platform for applied marketing experience.

  • The reactivation effort resulted in:
    – A rebuilt leadership team with defined roles and responsibilities
    – Increased member engagement through structured initiatives and collaboration
    – Stronger organizational credibility through national AMA affiliation
    – A more active presence within the university’s academic and professional ecosystem

    The organization transitioned from inactivity to a functioning, growth-oriented chapter.

  • The project successfully re-established AMAxPacific as an active and credible organization, creating new opportunities for students to engage with marketing beyond the classroom.

    By focusing on structure, positioning, and value creation, the chapter was set on a path toward sustained growth and long-term impact

  • – Organizational growth requires both leadership and strategic positioning
    – Credibility is a key driver of engagement and participation
    – Community-building is most effective when paired with clear value
    – Marketing principles apply as much to organizations as they do to brands

Organizational Leadership & Community Engagement Strategy

Vice President, Black Student Union

  • As Vice President of the Black Student Union (BSU), I worked closely with executive leadership to strengthen the organization’s operations, communication structure, and campus presence. The role focused on improving internal alignment while expanding the organization’s ability to engage students through meaningful programming.

    BSU operates as both a cultural organization and a community platform, requiring a balance of leadership, coordination, and strategic communication to effectively serve its members.

  • The organization faced challenges common to student-led groups, including communication gaps between leadership, limited operational clarity, and the need to consistently engage a broad and diverse student base.

    Without strong coordination across leadership and members, it was difficult to maintain momentum, execute events efficiently, and sustain engagement over time.

  • I worked alongside the President to strengthen internal operations and improve how the organization functioned day-to-day.

    Key initiatives included:
    – Acting as a central communication bridge between the President, advisors, and the general assembly
    – Supporting the delegation and coordination of leadership roles to improve operational efficiency
    – Collaborating with executive leadership to plan and execute events designed to increase student engagement
    – Strengthening alignment across leadership to ensure consistency in messaging and organizational direction

    This approach emphasized clarity, collaboration, and consistency as the foundation for organizational effectiveness.

  • The work translated into:
    – Improved communication flow across leadership and members
    – More coordinated and efficient execution of events
    – Stronger alignment between leadership decisions and member engagement
    – Increased visibility of the organization on campus through consistent programming

    The organization operated more cohesively, enabling it to better serve its community.

  • The result was a more structured and communicative leadership team, supporting stronger event execution and a more consistent on-campus presence.

    By focusing on internal alignment and collaboration, the organization was better positioned to create meaningful experiences and maintain engagement within the student community.

  • – Internal communication is critical to organizational success
    – Leadership alignment directly impacts external engagement
    – Community-building requires both strategy and execution
    – Strong operations enable stronger experiences
