Mentoring

I have mentored many people at different levels. I enjoy working with people and helping them find their strengths. I have developed a framework to design a project based on the individuals interests and strengths, and regular check in points and feedback sessions to ensure progress to goals. Over the years, this has included: 4 high school students, 6 education bachelor students, 15 americorps members, 7 part time employees, and 4 full time employees.
