Projects

Academic work I’m still learning from

These projects are part of my coursework and learning process. I’m not presenting them as professional case studies; they are examples of how I’m practicing research, writing, data organization, and economic thinking.

Project Title

Consumer Spending and Inflation

Context

I worked on this as an academic economics analysis about how price changes can affect consumer behavior and household decisions.

What I practiced

I practiced reading economic indicators, comparing spending categories, and turning a broad topic into a clearer written explanation.

What I learned

I learned that inflation is not just a number in the news. It changes what people feel they can afford, and the project made that more concrete for me.

Reflection

This was one of the first times an economics topic felt close to everyday life instead of just class material.

Project Title

Market Positioning Case Study

Context

This project helped me think about how a company presents itself in a competitive market and how customers understand value.

What I practiced

I practiced looking at customer segments, competitor messaging, pricing signals, and the way a business communicates its value.

What I learned

I learned that clear positioning matters. If people do not understand who something is for or why it matters, they move on quickly.

Reflection

This helped me practice writing in a way that could be useful to someone outside the classroom, though I’m still working on that.

Project Title

Spreadsheet-Based Trend Review

Context

This was a spreadsheet-based practice project focused on organizing a basic dataset so I could compare values and notice a trend.

What I practiced

I practiced cleaning categories, comparing values, calculating simple changes, and keeping the spreadsheet readable.

What I learned

I learned that messy data can lead to messy thinking. Once the spreadsheet was clearer, my explanation became clearer too.

Reflection

This reminded me that data work takes patience. Small details matter more than I expected.
