Solving our local communities’ environmental problems or contributing to 
the solutions of the world’s biggest environmental problems require an 
interdisciplinary approach bringing together environmental science and 
management, economics, policy making, environmental law and governance. 
There’s no one approach that is going to succeed in mitigating 
environmental degradation and climate change, it is a team effort spread 
across many different sectors of society. Come learn about this diverse 
landscape of careers in which you can address environmental issues from 
different approaches, and the skills needed to succeed.

The conversation will include information about:
• The approaches different sectors take in shaping environmental policy
• What kind of job titles and opportunities should you be looking for to 
break into this field?
• How can earning a master’s degree help you in this field?
• How can the Masters of Environmental Policy help you build the skills 
you need, and why consider studying environmental policy in China?

*ALUM 1-2-1: Individual Conversations with* *Tatiana Sherman 05F*
*Wednesday, Nov. 13th, 1:30-4:30,* at CORC, 3rd Floor Library

conversation with Tatiana Sherman 05F, currently *Senior Program

Possible Topics that Tatiana would love to discuss with you include 
(bring other topics too!):
• The winding path – how to bring diverse experiences into your personal 
narrative to build a path that makes sense to you and others
• Go international - learn about other places and bring that experience 
with you no matter where you land

Chinese Studies to a career based in the US?

with you and it will serve you well

*TATIANA'S BIO:*
Tatiana started her life after Hampshire living and traveling in 
southeastern Chinese cities for two years, while also raising her young 
daughter. This time learning to be a stay-at-home parent in China 
solidified her commitment to alternative education methods, and upon 
returning to the U.S. she continued to homeschool her two daughters 
until 2016. During this journey, she worked at several other ventures 
including waiting tables, training to be a birth doula, and tutoring 
high school students in Mandarin Chinese, writing and test prep.

Tatiana is currently bringing all the skills from these diverse 
experiences to her work at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke 
University. Officially re-entering the workforce as a Staff Assistant in 
the Career Services Office, where she learned about career counseling, 
she was soon promoted to serve as the Senior Program Coordinator of the 
International Master of Environmental Policy (iMEP) program, which is 
based at Duke’s campus in China, Duke Kunshan University.

Tatiana transferred to Hampshire where she studied Religion, Chinese 
Language and Culture, and Gender. All of these areas came together 
during a study abroad semester in Yunnan Province, China when Tatiana 
did an ethnography on a Christian house church, which led into her Div 
III project on Christianity in China. As a student, she was a Counselor 
Advocate with the Wellness Center, working with peers who were dealing 
with sexual and relationship violence, substance abuse, eating disorders 
and more. She was also a founding member of the Gin & Tonics a cappella 
group.
