About Me!

Introduction
Michaela Jackson
I go to Edgewood High School
I am a sophmore in the GSIB Program
I love engineering and working with technology!
Why I Joined the guild
What Brought Me Here
I was interested in the Guild because of the mentoring opportunities. I was excited to learn how to improve my technological and collaborative skills. A personal value of mine that was tied to the misson of T4C was growth. I have grown so much during this internship by learning new things and contributing to the community.

Developed

Challenges faced and Overcome:
At first I thought making landing pages were very difficult and complex because of all the sections and information you have to fill out, but with a bit of trial and error, it became second nature!
A key moment that changed my way of thinking was when making a landing page for the Sacco Foundation and I had to list a bunch of names and realized that there was a way to just list them all at once and that made the process go much faster.
My Projects
...
Project Overview
This is a landing page dedicated to Rick Hall and his work towards giving back to the community and his love for basketball and refereeing. Through this page I show his passion for helping others and his kindness.
This is a landing page dedicated to Mark Pacione and his hard work within the church and the youth ministry. In this page I go into detail on Pacione's core values and how he used his kindness to create a grant for aspiring youth to grow their faith.
My Role
What I Did
On the Rick Hall Legacy Project Page I specifically went into detail on the Rick Hall Game Changer Scholarship. I created new, updated forms to nominate and apply for the scholarship. On the Mark Pacione Legacy Project Page I focused on his inclusion of everyone and how that carried on into his foundation and the grants his foundation gives out once a year.
I contributed all of the chosen pictures in the landing pages and picked out which ones best fit the vibe of the page.
Some challenges I faced were deciding how to capture the long lasting legacy that both of the people have and had with little information.
A proud moment and solution to that challenge was doing a lot of research and finding more information on both Mark Pacione and Rick Hall.
Thank you for listening!
