Through my college years, many assignments and projects have been accomplished. Below are some of the examples of the work i've completed on my way to learn and expand my understand of many health fields. This page will demonstrate some of my knowledge in health through my learned skills in making brochures, newsletters and informational flyers.

Health Brochure

Health Brochure was learned through MS publisher, and the purpose is to deliver a specific information about a topic to the general public. Some of the general requirement for a brochure is to be appealing to the reader through images and words. The topic I choose to do was on Iron Deficiency Anemia.

Informational Flyer

Informational Flyers are also apart of MS word program. The prupose of the assignment was to create a flyer both appealing and gives quick information to an event. The event i careted was fictional because the main idea was to learn to create a flyer using a template. The specific event i choose for my flyer was for NBA since I have a large interest in basketball. Please click on the small picture link below to visit my flyer.
