\"Kirstie<\/p>\n

HI everyone, I’m\u00a0Kirstie and I am about to go into my final year as a BA History student. I am also the Peer Mentor Coordinator for this year!<\/span><\/p>\n

My interest in Mission Employable can be traced back to my first year at Southampton, when I met Dr Eleanor Quince. She inspired me to take hold of the opportunities I had at Southampton, and after being both a Mentee and a Mentor, it seemed natural for me to go as far as I could with the Peer Mentoring Scheme. On a professional level, I want to improve my communication skills, whether that be adhering to the correct email etiquette or in meetings with academics. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a personal level, I find the thought of starting a project and seeing it through to the end very exciting; it is an immediately visible version of my own progress and achievements. Results-wise, I hope that I will positively impact upon my fellow students in two ways. I want to improve the University experience of my Mentees, from making the most of Southampton City, to feeling confident about their studies. I also want the Mentors to be influenced in a professional sense. Being a Mentor provides you with a wide range of highly valuable skills that you pick up without even noticing, and being the person to facilitate this would make all my work worthwhile. <\/span><\/p>\n

So far, it has been a revealing experience, as I already feel like I have learnt so much. I look forward to the rest of my journey! <\/span><\/p>\n
