Ep. 10 - Boston University Mentoring and Research Team
We had the opportunity to talk to the Boston University Mentoring and Research Team, a project we discussed with Ariel Schwartz in a previous episode (linked here). Marianne, Jesse, Timur, and Alix (bios below) talk to us about their experience being researchers and peer mentors for this project, how it has impacted them, and how they have used this project to assist peers. We enjoyed hearing from all the members of this group* and have included a full transcript (linked here in English and here in Spanish).
*We recorded this group interview prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marianne
“I am 22 years old I worked as a researcher at Boston University. My job was to mentor a young adult and then put together data about mentoring when it was over. I really enjoy having coffee!”
Jesse
“I enjoyed coming to work. I helped Ariel with the Meeting Wrap Up each week. Outside of BU, I do not get upset very much. I am open to doing more tasks than most other people are.”
Timur Gizatullin
“I am a researcher at Boston University and have been working there since September 2018. It’s been a wonderful experience so far. I live in Newton, MA, and have lived there for most of my life.”
Alix Herer
“I worked at Boston University on a research project, by making a peer program for young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. On my researching team everyone had real life experiences in the project because they went through some of these challenges growing up. During my time at Boston University I got to, make worksheets for my mentees, I got get to know my mentee by meeting one a week for 10 weeks and a weekly check in, I taught them about mental health, and I also collected a lot of data and got to put that into the research project to make the program better. I really enjoyed being a part of this project because I was able to help someone who was similar to me. Some things I really enjoy are photography, going to the beach and collecting sea glass, and I also love cooking.”
