  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy is one which ideally involves a partnership between the mentor and mentee within which the two work as a team whereby the mentor assists in teaching the mentee necessary research skill-sets and the mentee feels comfortable to ask any and all questions related to the material and the process. In developing a personal interest project tangentially related to the overall core project, the mentee should be able to communicate their personal research interests with the mentor in order to work on developing a relatable project more suited to the mentee''s interests. I hope to share my own experiences with the mentee related to the material being studied, as well as the processes of researching in order to foster an environment within which the mentee can learn through inquiry.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'The project involves the study of and inventorying of approximately 913 coins from the archaeological excavations at Cosa (Italy). These coins were discovered during excavations of the city between 1948 and 1972, and 1991 and 1997. Due to the "haphazard" storage of the legacy material from the earlier excavations in the site museum''s storerooms, these coins were "missing" until 2022 when they were rediscovered in a small metal filing cabinet. A majority of the physical inventory (photographing, notation and copying of sleeve information, and entering into an excel spreadsheet) has already been conducted, but there could be opportunities to travel to Italy as a part of Cosa Excavations in the summer of 2024 to assist in a potential rehousing project, as the coins do need to be reorganized in their physical location and placed back into order according to excavation year. Upon completion of the project, the inventory information is sent to the supervisor of the region in Italy, and there are opportunities to develop a personal project based on interests in individual coins, or periods of history, such as Roman Republican, Imperial, Late Imperial, and Late Antique to Medieval. Eventually, there may be a transfer of the information in the Excel spreadsheet into another, more searchable system, such as Airtable, which will be a development project and making the legacy data more readily available for researchers.'

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'Research tasks largely include editing and inserting photographs of the sleeve in which the coin was located, the obverse and reverse of each coin, as well as correlating the sleeve information with two publications on the coin material from Cosa, which need to be entered into the master Excel spreadsheet. A majority of the work will be cross-checking the information on the sleeves that were entered into the Excel spreadsheet with the information provided about each coin in the two publications. Once this task is completed, further research on each coin that is missing certain information (a few of the coins do not have an obverse type listed in the publication) will be conducted.'
