I conducted an interview with Ms. Jamila Corria on her duties as an academic achievement program advisor at the University of Maryland. The purpose of this interview was to gain clarity and understanding in what truly goes in to counseling others on making life choices. While also analyzing communication challenges she has faced overall through her current career and techniques to deal with those challenges. While conducting the interview I monitored various different verbal and non-verbal signals throughout the interview. The reason I choose Ms. Jamila is because as a student who is currently pursuing a degree in Sociology it is important to learn about the different career paths that can be chosen with this major. Sociology is a broad subject and can be pursued through many different paths. I have yet to decide on exactly which path to choose so by conducting this interview it allows me to see one option. Counseling is a career I have often thought of pursing but have not quite decided on.

The Human Services Informational Interview was conducted on the phone I interviewed Tara Dakolios. She started in the Human Services field with a Master degree in Education from Virginia College and started working at the Hilton head Preparatory School. After working there for years she missed doing education and had an opportunity with the University of South Carolina Beaufort as an advisor. Before being in the Human Services Field she wasn’t aware of it being declared a major and knew she always had a passion for helping people. The skills utilized in the Human Services Field are being adaptive, organized, multi-tasking and time management. College help prepare her for the field in many aspects such as being a basketball coach and assisting

This position has allowed me to become well versed in university and housing policy and I am well trained in how to perform not only the administrative tasks required by this position, but also how to handle conduct reporting and sensitive situations regarding students. Due to my experience as a Community Assistant, I am confident in my abilities to perform the duties that the office of Conferences & Event Services will require of me, if selected for this position. Upon first transferring to Clarion, I took a job with the Center for Leadership and Development as the Student Leadership Coordinator for Clarion University. During my time in this position I developed leadership programming for Clarion University and coordinated and planned events such as the Mary Walter Speaker Series. During my time working with the Mary Walter Speaker Series, we focused on mental health and the dispelling of mental health stigmas.

We began the interview by discussing Megan’s schooling and history. Megan graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho with a Bachelor’s degree in social work. Megan informed us that social work had not always been her first career choice. Originally Megan had planned to become a teacher, however like most college students she changed her mind as well as her major a few times. Megan went on to explain that she considered majoring in sociology or marriage and family studies however she chose social work instead because she believed it would be a more marketable and beneficial degree. Megan has worked very closely with senior citizens since she graduated with her Bachelor’s degree many years ago. Megan stated that she loves the population she works with and wants to continue working in the senior care industry.

She is an incredibly hard working as she has a PHD from Clemson University; she has a MBA from Winthrop University in South Carolina and received her undergrad in business. She is a firm believer in “You get out what you put in” and her resume clearly

Her experience in brand architecture, brand development, advertising and creative direction will be a great assets for the university. I appreciate how she has built creative teams and collaborates and problem solves with the people she manages. I respect her “out of the box”

It started as typical Tuesday with a couple of court hearings, maybe an arrest, but nothing to exciting. That all changed at dawn.

Growing up in Southeastern Kentucky, a kid doesn’t have many expectations from their parents, school teachers, or themselves. When a student walks by two teachers talking they say, “This group of 5th graders are the worst, every one of them are as dumb as a box of rocks.” This is the sad reality of what happened in my elementary school at Marie Roberts-Caney. Our school slogan is, “No student left behind.” Ever since 3rd grade I knew it was a bunch or bologna. Don’t get me wrong, I had great parents who cared about me, but they didn’t expect much from me. Neither of my parents attended college and I was afraid of it. Even as a young student, I knew I wasn’t the brightest kid in the classroom. Now that I look back, I realize how hard I worked

I have been challenged by all of my professors to continuously go deeper with my work. However, this week something different came about because when a visiting artist and curator visited. The curator said “A lot of my students are good at showing things one way but not multiple ways.” This affirmation settle in my spirit because currently I am working to find different ways to express loneliness and examine it from the many angles and avenues it has to offer.

The individual I chose to interview is Mrs. Felicia Colbert. She is a current assistant principal at my school. Mrs. Colbert’s experience familiarity extends from a classroom instructor to instructional educators as an assistant director. Her capability surpasses 15 years of service in and out the core content of science. Her experience in administration includes two years at middle school level and five years at a high school level as an assistant principal. I designated Mrs. Colbert as my professional to interview because I recently completed my administrator practicum under her supervision. Throughout those six months as an intern, I got to analyze just how much of an expert she is in administration leadership. Therefore,

I got the chance to interview a wonderful person, Ms. Breyonia Sterling. Breyonia resides here in Savannah, Ga and she is 18 years old. Her birthday is April 8th, which qualifies her to be an Aries. Breyonia Sterling is a wonderful person because she has an admirable personality, she is very success- driven, and has some unique favorites. I also learned while interviewing her that we have a lot in common.

As I mentioned over dinner last night, the one thing CUNY, said to us was, "There may be dirt all around her, but there are still seeds to be planted. We know of her work at Hunter College, the days with Silvia Fishman and ....

I would first like to say nice to meet you and thank you for your service in the Air Force. In your post I noticed you mentioned that you are a duck hunter and that you also garden in you off time. I was wondering when you first took an interest in those two things and how long have you been doing it for. As an LSU Tigers fan who did you find more entertaining to watch this year the football team or the basketball team with all the hype surrounding Ben Simmons. Another question I feel the need to ask is what is your favorite Louisiana dish to eat and/or cook? It been a while since I have been to Louisiana and enjoyed the food but it always nice to hear what the locals say are best things to eat from there.

me in any case and makes me understand that I can turn into a decent
