I joined the Indiana Foodways Alliance Business Fellows project because I thought it would be a great way to bring together the skills of my majors – travel and tourism and telecommunications. I also happen to be a foodie. I love trying new foods, and I have always told people that I am willing to try anything once.

Another big draw to this project is that I thought of this idea before I heard of it. In one of my travel and tourism class, we were asked to find a new way to increase tourist in Muncie, and my group came up with the idea of forming an alliance with the local restaurants in the Delaware county area. Although our class group’s idea was a smaller concept of the Indiana Foodways Alliance project, it was every much the same strategy of joining food venues. I thought I would join Indiana Foodways to share the ideas of what my class group came up with for the food alliance in Indiana.

Along with sharing my ideas of a food alliance, my main focus will to be to film the food short videos. This project will help fine-tune my audio and video skills that I have learned as a telecommunications major.
