My Mentoring Philosophy
My mentoring philosophy emphasizes guiding you as an emerging scientist and as an individual. This means I will support your research training, long term career development, and your mental and emotional well-being. In your research training, my mentorship will help you to cultivate resilience to the challenges of conducting research. I will also help you develop independence in your research interests.
As the lab grows, we will foster a respectful, collaborative, and supportive research environment. We will mentor each other by sharing our knowledge and constructive feedback in ways that lift each other up.
My goal is to support you in building broadly transferable skills in scientific approaches, critical thinking, communication, and problem solving that will serve you across diverse professional trajectories.
