Welcome to my Professional Writing Portfolio! This is where I am displaying my assignments from my Professional Writing Course. You can review my resume and different formal documents, as well as, my reflection of the class under the conclusion page.

Professional Profile

My name is Hannah Adams. I am currently an undergraduate student studying Communication Sciences and Disorders at Longwood University. I have been a student here at Longwood University for three years now and I will be graduating with my Bachelors of Science Degree in May of 2019. I have had numerous different experiences that relate to my field of study. I have participated in a lot of volunteer work that involves the interaction with special needs individuals. These experiences will aid me in my future career as a Speech Language Pathologist because I will potentially be working with individuals that have special needs in my future line of work. I have also been an active member in  the Operation Smile Club here at Longwood University for three years and I have held the executive position of Public Relations Officer for two years now. Operation Smile is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness for individuals with cleft lips and palates. The organization also collects donations in order to provide these individuals with surgeries to correct their cleft lip and/or palate. Participating in this organization allows me to have an advantage when my time comes to practice Speech Pathology because I will have more background knowledge of these conditions.

ePortfolio Purpose and Content

The purpose of this ePortfolio is to provide an outline the professional work that I have created throughout my Professional Writing Course. Throughout this ePortfolio I will discuss the different writing  tasks that I have done and how they have aligned with the course learning outcomes. The Professional Writing Course has given me a different outlook on professional writing because throughout the course we have discussed the different aspects of professional writing. The assignments have assisted me in gaining the knowledge of the course learning outcomes by allowing my to have hands on practice with the different types of professional writing. In conclusion, I have put all my effort into this course in order to learn and get the most out of this course. This course has equipped me with information that I will use outside of the classroom and possibly in my own profession.
