ALISON BOURNE

Experiential Learning Portfolio

Why create an entire website to submit my Experiential Learning Portfolio?

Like all of us, this pandemic has changed the way I function on a fundamental level. My family and I have had to completely change how we attend school, work, and how we obtain even our basic necessities. For my company, I had to quickly create and implement new ways to attract and interact with our current and potential customers.

Submitting just a digital copy of my life’s work (portfolio) no longer felt like a sufficient demonstration of my capabilities. I will still submit a hard copy, but hopefully I am able to share some of what I have learned and achieved.
