I started working for Holiday Inn Club Vacations® in October 2015. In three weeks, I was commissioned to write an ad to be printed the Miami Times. From the ad, we

received 3 bookings and $3,500 in revenue.

Below is a brochure I produced for Energy One Federal Credit Union. As the

Marketing Manager, I created and updated all the brochures with relevant

information. The kids program (Kids Cash Club) brochure was in need of a facelift

so I started from scratch and created a piece that is visually pleasing and

informational.

While I worked at the Sam Noble Museum, I completed many tasks. One of those

was planning and working the Science in Action & Object I.D. Day. The Science in

Action & Object I.D. Day is a popular annual event. The community is invited to

bring objects they cannot identify to the museum, where experts from each field will

be available to answer questions and identify objects. The museum also hosts a

variety of science-related organizations with an assortment of demonstrations and

activities. For this event, I created promotional materials such as a news release, the

text and layout for fliers, and an article. The press release was distributed to local

media and the flier was posted throughout Oklahoma in local businesses and

libraries. The article was created from the press release and was published in The

Oklahoman.

Science in Action & Object I.D. Day at the Sam Noble Museum Visitors bring in objects for identification, family fun

NORMAN— Many people find and collect objects that they recognize, but can’t identify. Could it be a rock or a fossil? A piece of mammoth tusk or a mineral? An arrow point or a chunk of flint? All these questions, and more, can be answered from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 during Science in Action & Object I.D. Day at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman.

Bring in your natural history objects to be identified, or just come in to enjoy scientific discovery and fun. Science in Action and Object I.D. Day is a free, family-friendly, science-packed day featuring demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Experts will converge to investigate objects of all kinds brought in from the private collections of people across the state. Everything from bones and rocks to Native American objects and languages are brought in to the museum for the experts to ponder over, identify and explain.

Museum staff from archaeology, ethnology, genomic resources, reptiles and amphibians, ichthyology, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology, mammals, Native American languages, paleobotany, and modern invertebrates, such as insects, will be available to make identifications and answer questions. The Ornithology department will provide fun facts about birds and their feathers. They will explain how feathers enable birds to catch prey, find mates, and dive into water. Visitors will also learn how to identify bird flight styles by the shape of their wings! Every department will have a number of objects on view from their collection to serve as “show-and-tell.”

In addition to object identification and collection “show-and-tell,” Science in Action & Object I.D. Day will feature a variety of fun family activities and demonstrations. The Oklahoma Wind Power Initiative will have information about wind energy including a demonstration of how a wind turbine works. Norman North High School Astronomy club will teach guests about the night sky with their portable dome. Wild Al’s food truck will be available, serving barbeque and other southern foods.

Also in attendance will be the Cleveland County Audubon Society, the South-Central Climate Science Center, Norman North Astronomy and the WaTER Center. Representatives will be present to inform and answer questions about their organizations.

Science in Action & Object I.D. Day is a perfect time to share information about an addition to the museum's website, www.snomnh.ou.edu, a page devoted to common fossils of Oklahoma, www.CommonFossilsofOklahoma.snomnh.ou.edu.

Equipped with images of living plants and animals and their respective fossils, this site details how paleontologists search for fossils, how to identify Oklahoma fossils and teaches about the communities Oklahoma plants and animals came from.

Fossils are found regularly throughout the state of Oklahoma. The Common Fossils of Oklahoma page allows visitors to submit images and information about fossils they have found and allow the experts at the museum to try and identify them.

To learn more about Science in Action and Object I.D. Day, call 405-325-4712, or visit the museum’s website at www.snomnh.ou.edu. The Sam Noble Museum is located at Timberdell Road and Chautauqua Avenue on the OU Norman campus.

The Sam Noble Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors 65 and up, and $3 for youth ages 6 to 17. University of Oklahoma students and children ages 5 and under are free. Discounts are available for military personnel and their immediate families.
