• COVID-19 Action Report, The First 18 Months
  Vidant Health COVID-19 Action Report, The First 18 Months It was with great doubt that any one document can rightfully reflect Vidant Health’s response to COVID-19 and the impact to our patients, team members, organization and community. This document was written with the understanding that it would fall short of capturing the true level of personal mental stress, successes and failures of Vidant Health’s response to COVID-19. In defining Vidant Health’s pronouns this document used “We” “Us” and “Our” to describe the team members and organization in this document. The first impression when looking at the past 18 months of COVID-19 was the strength of our systemness. Early on in the pandemic and continuing through the pandemic there was great uncertainty and a need to learn the nature and science of this outbreak to best create policies to contain the outbreak. We found strength in our systemness to face many of these unknowns and provide needed healthcare to our community during these challenging times.

• Love is in the Bin Recreation
  For Ms. Luddeke's Art Appreciation course at ECU, we recreated a famous work of art. The piece I chose is by an anonymous artist, Banksy titled "Love is in the Bin". Originally, the graffiti street art was titled "Girl with Balloon" and in some installations, it featured the phrase "There is always hope". Banksy's anti-establishment theory on art lead him to vow if it ever sold at auction it would be destroyed. He then secretly installed a shredder into the Girl with Balloon's frame. When the painting sold and the gavel struck, onlookers watched in horror as the painting went through the built in shredder. Banksy authenticated the stunt and renamed it "Love is in the Bin". Sothebys announced it as the first performance art piece ever created at auction. Girl with Balloon originally sold for $1.4 million. The shredded and newly titled Love is in the Bin ironically sold for $25.4 million.

• homestyle melancholy
  I had been thinking about this project for weeks and had wanted to come up with something meaningful yet simple. I used a KN95 mask, my iPhone, and my front yard at home in Wendell, NC. The example image of the man with the German medical mask is what inspired my portrait. But more importantly, Covid-19 inspired this portrait. When I first started reading about this assignment, I didn’t realize the mask assignment was directly related to COVID. I thought it could’ve meant a masquerade mask or really any kind of mask. The mask I chose is known to be one of the best protective masks that there is and it is definitely a mask that I would wear in public. This mask represents my identity in many ways. Because this is one of the most protective masks that there is, I think that it is symbolic and ironic because my life has been unprotected and risky. Masks are supposed to provide security and safety and I feel that this is a reflection of what life wasn’t always for me. I have had a privileged but very difficult life that contradicts itself, I know. I grew up out of the country and lived as a minority and dealt with many things that severed my security and safety as a person. This makes up so much of who I am. I have lived so long feeling not secure and not safe; both emotionally and physically. This also conveys Covid-19 in so many ways. I picked the mask to represent myself: simple yet gives the illusion of security. And the background represents Covid-19 when it started. Coronavirus has had such an impact on all of us in more ways than one, but it all started when we were asked to quarantine at home. Home is where most of us thought that this virus would only last a month or two but in reality, has lasted close to two years. We thought we would be protected and that the issue would be quickly resolved. I think this also symbolizes how I have dealt with Covid because it has grown my love for my family and desire to spend time with them at home. I know it became annoying to be at home so much and not have the freedom to leave, but it gave me a greater love for home because this is one of the few things that have given me security over the course of my life. I took a black and white photo because I think it makes it feel timeless. I feel that covid has given us all a sense of timelessness because of how it has warped time in our lives. I think it is aesthetically pleasing because it is black and white but also because the background is blurred in comparison to me being focused in the center of the image. I think this is unique because instead of choosing to think extravagantly, I thought simply. I thought outside of the box by doing things simpler than I thought most people would. It represents how I have chosen to grow closer to home although I’ve moved further away to school. I think the mask itself represents the security I’ve grown to feel even though the world is so unsecure with everything going on. This image is ultimately artistic because it is a paradox.

• Pirate Wellness Program overview, ECU College of Health and Human Performance
  We created a virtual telehealth program for individuals with disabilities during COVID so our recreational therapy students had clinical internship experiences required for national certification and state licensure. The Pirate Wellness Program provided our students a platform to learn skills needed to be a practitioner and also provided individuals with disabilities much needed services during these quarantine periods. With the success, we’ve since transitioned the program to be a model for our new and improved senior practicum. We made lemonade out of lemons.
