Being that this field is smaller than most, depending on one another and using each other as
resources is crucial. This year as student ambassadors we are working with our advisor and
professor, Dr. Nicole Johnson on bringing the other vision undergraduate and graduate programs
together to give students the opportunity to collaborate across programs. We also plan to continue
that collaboration after graduation by piloting a mentor program for students entering the field as a
TVI to be paired with a TVI currently working in the field. This will not only provide support to
new TVI's in the field but supply an unlimited amount of resources for teachers to use by sharing
stories and ideas.
I look forward to learning as much as I can within this field because there is always more to
learn. It excites me to know that I have found my true passion within this field and I look forward to
having a career not just a job. As I begin my role as the Student Ambassador of the Division on
Visual Impairments I am open to any ideas and or suggestions. Please contact me at the email
address listed above to get involved with the student ambassador and mentor program.
