BIO

I am a Psychology and Criminology major here at Florida State University. I am interested in completing research in the field of social psychology about racial prejudice in police officers after I earn my bachelor's degree. I am currently a research assistant for the Rosenstrasse foundation where we are researching the Rosenstrasse Protest during World War II. I am also a member of the Psychology Honors society, Psi Chi.

The Rosenstrasse Foundation: Nonprofit Fundraising

Abstract

Our fundraising team worked together to create a GoFundMe to help further the research of the Rosenstrasse Foundation. This GoFundMe page was specifically catered to gaining full access to an Ancestry.com account. Since Ancestry was offering a discounted holiday special, it seemed like the best opportunity to start fundraising. This account was dedicated to our genealogy team, and they use the account to gain access to valuable documents and information about the families the foundation is currently researching. Then the documents and information is sent to our biography team, where they write up biographies on these families. After the biographies are edited and finalized, they are  sent to our website and social media team where it is directly published to our website. We are currently working on publishing a second GoFundMe fundraising campaign to gain access to a premium Wix account. Which will then be used to help our Foundation’s website have a more professional appeal. The premium account will also help us produce advertisements to gain more followers for our foundation.
