Mentoring Philosophy | As a first time in college student myself attending a large university, college is intimidating, and I found my career interest in anthropology after speaking with a professor of one of my courses. My relationships with various mentors are based on mutual respect and over the years allowed me to expand my interests to include studying diverse peoples, their communities and cultural heritage. Museum studies provides me the mechanism to mentor students and teach them how to conduct research, work independently and in groups, learn from others, and build on each other’s strengths. I encourage students to run with their interests and figure out how to implement their ideas in a multi-component, interactive, professional final product. |
