During my last semester in the program, I had to create a "final Creative Component". For this project, I decided to create an NDSU Faculty Advisor Training Handbook. I researched, composed, and defended a campus wide standardization training handbook utilizing theory (NACADA core competencies: Informational, Conceptual, and Relational) and practice to demonstrate academic advising best practices and procedures. The main purpose of the handbook was to provide assistance to faculty advisors, both new and experienced, preparing and carrying out student advising appointments. In addition to the handbook, I developed an online module containing filmed and edited advising scenario videos for hands-on training.

        Andrea and I worked together in the Career and Advising Center at North Dakota State University.  In the time that I spent supervising her, I had the opportunity to watch her confidence grow as she was continuously seeking feedback and innovative ways to provide optimal service to the students. In observing her interactions with her work peers and fellow NDSU students, it quickly became evident that Andrea is a natural born teacher and educator as she managed tough conversations and taught difficult concepts to others.  She had a tendency to bring newer hires under her wing, to give them as much information as she could, and then empower them to educate and share information with those they were serving.  Her demeanor is warm, friendly, and welcoming which truly contributed to the comfort students felt when entering our office and interacting with our staff. She is coach-able, flexible, and eager to learn more to make herself the best professional she can be.
