BIO


My name is Madison Bogert, and I am a Sophomore at Florida State University. I am 19 years old and originally from Oviedo Florida. Having always been interested in science-based classes, I took a total of 12 science classes in high school. In May 2020, I graduated from Oviedo High School, my high school had a huge focus on STEM. Oviedo High School had this amazing class called bioscience which was taken over four-years where you learned basic lab skills. This is where I picked up my love for science.
My major is social work, and I am working towards apply to the college of social work, so that I can start in the fall. Social work has always interested me as my sister had cancer as a baby and I watched how much the social workers impacted my family’s lives. Even though I love science I didn’t want to pursue a career that solely focused on it. This is mostly because I love helping others out and I feel like

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.
