Peer Mentor
January 2020 - Present
As a peer mentor at the Undergraduate Speaking Center, I work with students on campus preparing for speeches and presentations to outline their content, prepare visuals, rehearse their performance and manage speech anxiety.

BRAINSTORMING
I assist students at the very start of their speech writing process by brainstorming speech topics and exploring possible avenues through those topics to be explored.
ROUGH & FINAL DRAFTING
I review student's draft scripts and outlines with them to discuss possible changes to elevate language, enhance clarity and ensure any assignment requirements are met.
DESIGN
I work with students to craft effective visuals for use during their presentations and revise any presentation aides detracting from the quality of the presentation.
REHEARSAL
I listen to students as they rehearse and provide feedback regarding tone, speed, inflection and body language. Additionally, I work with students experiencing speech anxiety to develop strategies to manage their stress
