\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My name is Gabriella Bellows, and I am a sophomore at American University in Washington DC, majoring in an interdisciplinary program focused on communications, legal institutions, economics, and government and involved in the School of Public Affairs Leadership Program (SPA Leadership), a selective cohort focusing on leadership skills and development within the field of Public Affairs. Outside of my courses, I am learning Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I am in the process of obtaining my second certificate in Incident Command System, an interclass community coordinator for the SPA Leadership program, the Marketing and Social Media Co-Chair for American University’s Chapter of Sigma Delta Tau, and a Senior Policy Advisor for the 2022 Model G20 Summit.<\/a> I am looking for opportunities in emergency management or business continuity. <\/p>\n

This summer I worked to actualize my goal of working in Emergency Management by interning full time as a Public Safety, Convention Management, and Sales at Events DC, Washington’s sports venue and convention authority. As one part of my internship, I researched security intel and aided in project management and sales process of some of DC’s largest events. As an intern, I participated in professional development and networking series, as well as winning an award for the local Toastmasters chapter. <\/p>\n

I first became interested in the social, public health, and political aspects of emergency management when I traveled to New Orleans in the summer of 2017 to rebuild houses of people who faced contractor fraud after Hurricane Katrina, and learned of the multi-agency response and of the political struggles involved to rebuild the city. I am pursuing my passion for Emergency Management through self-study through FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute and by attending digital seminars on venue safety and security as an observer with the International Association of Venue Managers. Through the SPA Leadership Program, I am conducting research on flood mitigation policy in the Washington DC area and plan to conduct a service learning project using my research findings. Take a look at my digital portfolio to learn more about my professional interests and academic accomplishments!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I learned leadership methods in a traditional academic setting and through experiential learning. As part of the program, utilizing our prioritized access as honors students to career advising, we are required to build a digital career portfolio, and attend networking events. For the action part of the course, I worked in a small group researching COVID-19\u2019s effect on the mental health of children and created an infographic detailing the local resources available to parents for their children and worked with elementary schools in underserved communities to distribute the infographic. As a leader, I learned to take\u00a0initiative to do the research into putting together the resources we included on the infographic, as well as putting together the infographic itself. Throughout the process, I was an outgoing team member who \u201cshowed up\u201d to meet any adversities along the way.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
