Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an organization that "builds bridges across age and cognitive barriers through art." I help facilitate one-on-one, person-centered care between an older adult with Alzheimer's disease or dementia and a student volunteer. My job is to make sure the partners have everything they need to complete the art session without any constraints. This is sometimes hard due to outside environmental factors. Along with facilitating the art-making session, I also plan for each art session by creating or practicing with a certain type of art project (ex. watercolors, pastels, acrylics, inks, etc.) Another job is to co-teach the Honors 190 courses with Dr. Lokon. I also work as a student liason for the Office of Community Engagement and Leadership to track student attendance and engagement. It has been one of the most rewarding positions I have ever served.

I was in charge of the rest of the camp counselors to make sure that they had everything they needed during the day. I created programs, led skits, facilitated Bible studies, and made sure that all of the children had the best care during their time at summer camp.
