preface
This portfolio is a collection of my educational, cultural and personal growth experiences over the past four years. It contains samples of work from a diverse array of experiences in academics, international study, internship and leadership positions. Though I have had a broad range of experiences and interests, public relations has remained an integral part of my educational experience. Most importantly, my experience in public relations has taught me the importance of professionalism, adaptability and a positive attitude because of its ever-changing nature.

Project Overview The focus of this research is how Poland and Ohio can work together to develop CO2 remediation technologies. Research Methods The team conducted site visits with Heidjer Staecker, a partner at Tremonti Consulting, Dave Bayless, professor at Ohio University and the creator of the algae bioreactor, Mark Shanahan, Ohio’s Energy Adviser and Arek Sniezko. In addition, the team obtained tech briefs about the development of the algae bioreactor from Wayne Hawthorne at Ohio University’s Technology Transfer Office; and also used various web resources for the basis of our research. Findings Both Poland and Ohio’s economies rely heavily on industries that emit a large amount of CO2. Poland recently joined the European Union, which means its manufacturers must find ways to meet EU emissions standards. Ohio cannot legislate more stringent emissions standards than currently embodied in federal regulations, but it does have a significant amount of innovation and research and development in the field of CO2 remediation and advanced energy technologies that may prove useful to Poland. Conclusion Ohio is investing a significant amount of money into innovation and research and development of new technologies. Poland, in the process of meeting EU emissions standards, could work with Ohio to expand its CO2 remediation options.
