1. Proficiency with Microsoft and Google suite of products (e.g., sheets/excel, docs/word, slides/PPT)
2. Attention to detail and ability to follow directions / take initiative
3. Experience with light video editing (no preferred software).

Recommended:
1. Experience working with students with disabilities
2. Experience or skills in basic web design (e.g., Wix, wordpress)
Mentoring Philosophy The greatest joys of my faculty career thus far have come from teaching and mentoring students. I aim to foster an inclusive, interdisciplinary intellectual community that gives everyone space to participate in and contribute to our research. Rather than pretend we can disconnect our personal selves from our professional selves, we celebrate, honor, nourish, and acknowledge all parts of each other as each of those parts benefit our community. From my perspective, mentoring students in research requires attention to both the hard and soft skills necessary to achieve their professional goals. For my students this includes helping them navigate the current hidden curriculum of the academy while simultaneously advocating for changes to the reduce systemic barriers and inequities it currently perpetuates. I accomplish this through both planned and incidental learning opportunities.
