Internship - Publicly Accessible Knowledge Base

I applied and qualified for internship credit with Utah Valley State College with a project that I was given by my employer at Nu Skin Enterprises. The Help Desk with Nu Skin has a database of over 700 knowledge base articles with resolutions to many known technical problems and issues that are relevant to the Nu Skin employees. The goal of my project was to make those KB articles available to all the Nu Skin employees. The goal was completed as I worked with other Nu Skin employees to make a webpage available where users can search the knowledge base articles and find their own resolutions.

ENGL 2020 Course Paper

In my ENGL 2020 intermediate writing class we turned in a course research paper that we worked on throughout the semester. The assignment was to research about how something is done. The teacher gave us the freedom to choose the topic, as long as we were researching a process. I chose to research skiing advertisements in magazines. I wanted to know what made them good, and what went into them to make them catch. I really researched what made a good skiing advertisement.
