2I interviewed Ms. Mary Smith (pseudonym). She is an Academic Advisor at theUniversity of Houston for Human Development and Family Studies. I chose to interview Ms.Smith because she works with students who are studying Human Development and FamilyStudies, which is the major I am studying. She has experience in this field and I knew there weremany things I could learn from her. Before interviewing her, I had met with her multiple times todiscuss my major and classes.
