For my capstone research project I worked in a group with Kristina Atienza and Brielle Warren to study the Emotional Effects After Binge Watching Netflix on College Students. The paper analyzes and explores various research on the effects of Netflix Consumption on modern culture.

We presented our research to a panel of judges who then were able to ask questions on the research.

I wrote a paper that involved combing through news sources to find a topic/article I can relate to a Mass Communications theory. I picked an article from The Wall Street Journal titled “Rand Paul Interview Sparks
