TEACHING PHILOSOPHY MENTORSHIP

When I taught undergraduate courses at MCAD for two years post-pandemic, my favorite part was learning about and guiding young people as they started their careers. It's the most inspiring, grueling, and intimidating stage of a career! I believe that failure is a part of learning and that art and creativity are skills you must keep practicing if you want to be hired. Navigating this new climate as a creative is getting tougher, and I want to impart any knowledge I have that may help someone in their career now.
