Approach as Mentor
I have benefited from peer-mentoring throughout my career and consider it an integral part of who I am as a higher education professional. I deeply believe in the value of collegiality and mutual support to create more equitable ecosystems in which we all thrive together through and across difference. My approach is informed by my experience in the field of intercultural competence, and I strive to establish strong relationships that are built on trust and dialogue; I take great care in intentionally applying my knowledge of educational theories and learning principles, and my skills as an Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Qualified Administrator. I exercise my interculturally sensitive approach in a variety on contexts, helping colleagues in my networks along their growth as Scholars of Teaching and Learning and Educational Developers. Rooted in my participatory arts background and practice, I believe in teaching as artistry and encourage its practice through courageously self-aware and creative exploration. I strive to help others identify their own questions and next steps as they approach any learning, and aim to empower them to explore diverse strategies. I try to do so in non-prescriptive ways that center the agency of everyone involved; this approach stems from my belief that any meaningful learning encounter is collectively created by the ensemble of its participants.
