Dove Youth Development
Preparing to fly
In the Interactive Media program at Elon University, my cohort and I were given an opportunity to fly to the Dominican Republic to work with Dove Youth Development. For this project, I was the team's Graphic designer.
In The Dominican Republic
My cohort and I had morning briefings with the clients to strategize our course of action for each day. We formulated ideas that would help in promoting and advertising their nonprofit program by updating their website, enhancing social media accounts and personally interacting with the program youth to gain more of a perspective in how to better serve their community in the Dominican Republic.

Final Designs
One of the many brochures and pamphlets I created that is now being used by Dove Youth Development. See more of my work below in the Final Marketing Materials segment that was adopted by the team and is currently being used by the nonprofit organization.

Before flying, I made sure that the marketing materials that I wanted to give to the client were esthetically pleasing to the eye.

While in the Dominican Republic, we had opportunities to conduct interviews with the Development faculty and the children to help promote them as a non-profit organization in the local community.

The interaction with the children in the Dominican Republic was priceless. Empowering them to know that they can one day provide the same experience of helping others.
Team Building
With being in a new country, we definitely took time out to enjoy the sites, food, beach, and other activities that I will never forget.
Farewell
Bonds were made as we thoroughly enjoyed the interactions we had with the Dominican and Haitian youth. We accomplished all the goals that our team set out to achieve and I will forever embrace the experience of knowing that my profession can truly make a difference locally and nationally.
