  • AmeriCorps Vista Classroom Teaching Assistant, ZACC, Missoula, MT, 2021-2022

The goal of the VISTA project is to aid in increasing graduation rates for Missoula youth by serving low-income students and by fostering frequent arts participation, which leads to improved grades and standardized test scores, reduced dropout rates and boredom in school, and a healthier self-image. These results correlate to increased civic engagement, and the National Endowment for the Arts reports students of the arts are more than twice as likely to volunteer in their communities than are students with little arts participation.

At the Saint Ignatius Mission Church, my job was plaster reconsolidation and reattachment through injection of conservator’s adhesives, straight painting, replication of decorative paint schemes, which included creating stencils from exposures of original decoration, and multi-color stencil application with overlapping designs.
