PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.


Questions to ask yourself:

  • Would the student find this person inspiring?
  • Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Cassidy C. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Casi grew up in Miami, Florida. She has a BA in Urban Studies from Stanford University and intends to pursue a Masters in Social Work. She is interested in creativity, sustainability, community, counseling, and mindfulness.

She is passionate about social work and counseling and looks forward to pursuing a life dedicated to emotional and community care.

She has experience teaching and facilitating in a variety of settings. She has been an RA, taught a course to help freshmen adjust to college life, taught young children, as well as Special Ed students.

She is a passionate hobbyist and creator, and knows that creativity requires equal parts discipline and self-compassion. She has published creative writing and has sold her art. Her writing consists of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Her art consists of knitting, sewing, illustration, pottery, and dance.

Learning new skills takes a ton of vulnerability, and Casi mentors with this in mind. Casi is fun, friendly, and kind, and is extremely excited to meet you!

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
