During the production of this report, I was able to grow my skills as a professional, researcher, and leader. The client that this project was completed, Copper Trace, was the client I contacted and recruited for the project. This allowed me to build my professionalism and communication skills as I sent emails and hosted zoom calls to bring Copper Trace on as a client. 

​

With my role as a team lead, I was able to gain a strong understanding of leadership skills and teamwork. My duties as team lead included managing workloads, organizing team meetings and meetings with the client, and leading a presentation of the results of our report. With the leadership experience gained my ability to lead others has grown significantly.

​

As we completed this report over 150 hours of research were completed. I was able to gain experience in locating sources, analyzing them, and transforming them into useable and understandable ideas and innovations for our clients. These experiences directly resulted in a literature review, which was then used to help build our recommendation report by synthesizing the ideas described in our sources to produce context-specific recommendations as displayed in my team's report.
