​During my undergraduate career, I was the Anthropology Peer Advisor for the College of Arts and Sciences at Utah State University (USU). I worked in this role for a year and a half, beginning in August 2024. I was responsible for helping students to find success within the Anthropology program and being a collaborator with the other advisors and peers in the advising center. The position requires its advisor to have excellent verbal, written, and public speaking skills as they advise current and prospective students in person, by phone, or email. An advisor must provide accurate information on curriculum, graduation requirements, and university policies. In this role, I created graduation plans in DegreeWorks, monitored progress toward majors, and guided students in using campus resources while maintaining FERPA confidentiality. I helped students make informed decisions, set realistic goals, and understand the value of higher education. I also documented advising interactions and performed related duties. The position required the ability to work in a fast-paced environment with multiple demands and changing needs. It also required the ability to learn and maintain current knowledge of complex program requirements, policies, and procedures. I worked with diverse student backgrounds and gained knowledge of and proficiency in a variety of current and emerging technology platforms. Lastly, I served on the events committee for the advising office. This position required office event planning and coordination on top of my advising duties.
