Expert Interview Summary and Reflection

Expert Interview

Name: Lily Solano

Organization: Maui Huliau Foundation

October 1st

Please write a one-page (or more if you’d like) summary and reflection of your interview. (What

did you discuss? What major insights/advice did you receive? Are there any adjustments or

changes/additions you’d like to make to your plan? How did your interview go?)

During my interview we discussed in depth my project and why I decided to do it. We also

talked about the plastic pollution issue on Maui’s beaches and oceans as well as plastic pollution

around the world. We also discussed the types of photos I want to take, how I am going to take

them, and the information I want to include with my photos. Ms. Solano also gave me locations

on our island that receive the most plastic pollution from our oceans that I could shoot in. We

also discussed the format of how I would be sharing my photos and information. Ms. Solano also

gave me additional tips and information about plastic pollution and my project. I believe that the

interview went very well and we have kept in contact about the progress of my project and how I

want to complete it. There are no adjustments that I have made at this time but there most likely

be some adjustments to my project in the future.
