Introducing Angela Miranda-Clark

 Hi, my name is Angela Miranda-Clark and I am Trinity's Compliance Officer and Title IX Coordinator. Basically that means I respond to allegations of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and harassment and discrimination based on protected status. I also receive bias reports and forward those to the person or department responsible for addressing them. Here's the photo Strategic Marketing took just after I started my job here:


I graduated from Trinity with a BA in Philosophy and minors in Spanish and History. I was one class and lab away from a Biology minor and I'm still kicking myself for not doing that. However it would have meant a 12 hour day my final semester, so the decision also made sense. As evidence that I went here, this is me and a friend studying for Spanish in my room in Miller my first year (can't find the one of me and my suitemate in front of the building sign at the moment):


I love all sorts of creative things, I even worked as a baker in a restaurant after graduation! I can share the original recipe for the focaccia at Macaroni Grill if you'd like. The restaurant was sold to a giant restaurant group though, so the recipe may be different now...

I used to be a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! and gave classes on rubber stamping and paper crafts. I recently went on a bead retreat and these are the projects I learned to make there:

This class was called Twisted Sisters, I named her Annie. Annie's pin back fell off and I stepped on her :-( I think it looks like she got run over.
                        

This is the beginning of a sewn bead bracelet. Some of those beads are SUPER tiny. The first picture is after 3-4 hours. The second is my progress after three days:
   

The last class I took was to learn to make a beaded lariat, this is the sample:

This is how far I got :

I want to learn how to use the equipment in the makerspace, and I want to spend more time being creative. Taking this class an effort to insert more balance into my life.

I adopted two cats during lockdown, Frankie and Gracie. They keep me entertained at home.

Project 5 (Final) Mixed techniques: Joshua Woody

Image
  The first step I took in creating this project was determining what I wanted to do. My wife has a chronic illness that affects her joints and it was recommended by her doctor that she wear thumb braces daily. She's gone through a numerous amount of some braces and different styles each one not covering all of the bases that it needs to. There are three joints in the thumb that need to be protected. From wrist to tip of the thumb, the joints are: ·          the Carpometacarpal (CMC) Joint, ·          Metacarpophalangeal (MP) Joint, ·          and Interphalangeal (IP) Joint. most thumb braces only protect one or two, in addition, the some braces are restrictive to the point where wrist Mobility is impinged. An ideal brace would allow for the most mobility in certain directions but negate hypermobility in the wrong directions and would protect from all four...
