Throughout the summer of 2020 I designed and implemented a research project through the Undergraduate Research Library Fellowship. My project focused on the experiences of female refugees in the Central Ohio area and their home countries with special attention to gender roles.

At the completion of my fellowship I had: conducted preliminary research, obtained IRB approval, completed interviews, and created a scalar project to showcase my report.

This was an extremely valuable experience in which I enhanced my abilities in outreach, writing, and conducting interviews. I also got to think deeply about issues important to me and investigate the circumstances that perpetuate them.

This summer I became a fellow for the Community Connector program at CRIS. As a fellow, I act as a photographer, graphic designer, and painter.

So far I have completed a multitude of projects including:

Community Connector Workbook 

I designed a 38 page workbook for mentees. This workbook helps mentees connect with their mentors, provides stress relief, and showcases resources. The following are examples of pages I created.

Social Media

I have created multiple social media posts for @CRISCommunityConnectors. This includes posts for World Refugee Day, the school supply drive, pride, and the death of Chadwick Boseman.

Murals

I painted and photographed 2 murals this summer. One was inside Columbus Humanities, Arts & Technology Academy. The other was painted on a wall at the corner of Cleveland and 3rd Avenue.
