Experience
July-September 2014 KCFAA Award Construction
Starting near the end of July and finally being presented at the end of September I applied and was accepted to construct the first Janet Miller Award for the dance group Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey. This commission required me to learn many new process, techniques and materials to complete it by the deadline. One of the biggest things I learned was how to use pour on latex for my mold making process.
Fall 2007- Present Saint Mary’s Convent Volunteer
I have been volunteering on and off for the past seven years at Saint Mary’s Convent. During this time I have been given and expected to perform many tasks involving the sisters that live there. Some of the tasks I perform include; stamp ministry, activity planner and assistance, one on one visit, and walker.
August-December 2013 Artbytes.info Internship
During the fall of 2013 I interned under David Overholt for the creation of Artbytes.info. Designed and created to help artist to become more tech literate, I worked as a post researcher, writer and tester for the creation of the website.

During the summer of 2013 I worked at Wickerson Studios producing and building with adobe bricks for the photo series Fires Over Kansas. The duties during this employment consisted of work production as well as the construction of earth buildings.
