| Writing Portfolio | A sample report on the feasibility of a proposed project. |

To Whom It May Concern,
Welcome to my writing portfolio, where mathematics and physics meets English. It is well understood phenomena in academia that when given a relatively large sample consisting of STEM graduates, a vast majority fail to understand the nuance of writing and communication. To this, I raise several selected writing samples, to hopefully show that I am a counterexample.
It may not be immediately apparent how my portfolio correlates to math and physics. To this, I raise my project proposal. Whether writing grants or presenting to sponsors, I am proud to be able to create persuasive rhetoric that incorporates scientific data, such as survey results, statistics, or monetary figures. This is compounded in my feasibility report, in which I am able to use publicly verifiable figures to justify a position.
At the same time, I recognize that as a mathematician, I fall under a small minority consisting of those who would enjoy more numbers, not less. As a writer, I am able to create works that cater to a specific audience that may not share my values or knowledge. An example of this can be found in my progress report, in which I acknowledged that my audience was an internal event planning committee. As such, they would be reading from a different perspective than, say, an ADA or compliance auditor.
The last work I wish to highlight is the Access Guide document, in which I and others collaborated on to cater to an audience that potentially requires accommodations, while simultaneously creating a document that the general reader may use to navigate the event. In addition to being able to develop materials for the general public and work with a team, the access guide represents the ability to create standardized procedures and instructions. These are skills that would transfer readily to other purposes, such as creating documentation or writing corporate policy.
