vaNILla is the connections based, partnership driven platform for collegiate student athletes and brands to pursue Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals. The program was coded in SwiftUI as a MVP (minimum viable product). I then took a look at NIL since its enactment and analyzed the financial impact of the rule change so far by creating a literary review that discusses the need for financial literacy and collectives’ influences on recruiting.

I made a creative project that was a pitch deck for a business idea of mine. The pitch deck was for an OTT platform called "The Soccer Channel" that will completely change the current landscape of soccer media in the United States. I worked through a business plan to make sure I had all the information I needed before putting together the deck which I then defended in front of my Committee members. I have attached both the pitch deck and the video of me presenting it with questions from Committee members included. ***ALL OF THE WORK UPLOADED FOR THIS THESIS IS CONFIDENTIAL.
