International Business Group Case Study
As a student studying international business, I was forced to study a concept that I had not previously been acquainted with. During the course, I was able to work in a group to formulate a comprehensive and cohesive presentation on Tata Motors, an international automotive company. As a leader in the group, I was able to organize the project and work to finalize the presentation. In the small group, I was forced to use adaptive leadership, in practice, to work efficiently and cohesively as a whole.

Ruffing Montessori School Graduation Speech
As a member of the Ruffing Montessori School Alumni Council, Matthew was invited to speak on behalf of the council at the school’s 2019 eighth grade graduation. It was the first time that a member of the alumni council spoke at the school’s graduation, but it has since become a valued tradition that the school will continue into the future. After several months of meetings with members of the school, writing, rewriting, and editing, the speech was completed less than forty-eight hours before it was delivered.
