Overall Research Project Description I am completing a dissertation which is a correlational cross-sectional design utilizing linear and hierarchical regression quantitative analysis. This proposed study aims to explore the relationship between anxiety and racial discrimination in Black populations, specifically in college students. Hope will be explored to determine its efficacy as a moderating factor to weaken the relationship between anxiety levels and racial microaggressions in Black college students. The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, this study aims to assist in filling the extant empirical gap that exists in the literature base regarding anxiety in Black populations. Second, the study intends to examine the possible viability of hope as a behavioral health protective factor against the deleterious impact of discrimination for Black individuals.

Research Tasks Once approved by my doctoral committee I will be completing the IRB process which will begin approximately in October. Once IRB is approved, I will begin recruiting for the project and conducting interviews. The following tasks will be required from UROP students.
- Reading chapters 1-3 of my prospectus to increase knowledge and understanding on the topic
- Assistance with reviewing IRB and Qualtrics survey construction prior to their submission/activation
- Completing CITI trainings and multicultural trainings to ensure competency
- Advertising for the study through flyer postage and online forums
- Emailing potential participants
- Using SPSS for data analysis and cleaning the quantitative data
- Weekly individual/team meetings

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: - Student's must know APA formatting including citations

- Prioritize and complete provided tasks in a timely manner

Mentoring Philosophy Mentoring Philosophy: Mentoring is not just a role. It is a dynamic partnership that empowers individuals to flourish academically, personally, and professionally. My mentoring philosophy centers around the concept of unwavering support. I believe consistent positive support is the cornerstone of nurturing potential and inspiring meaningful progress between a mentor and mentee. My approach aims to create a safe and inclusive space where mentees can explore their research interests, navigate challenges, and cultivate their future trajectories. My approach includes three primary tenets:

1. Building Trust and Rapport: Central to effective mentoring is the establishment of trust and rapport. I prioritize open communication and active listening to understand the unique goals, aspirations, and concerns of each mentee. By creating a nonjudgmental environment, I encourage mentees to share their thoughts and experiences honestly.
2. Tailored Guidance: Every mentee is on a distinct journey, and my role is to offer personalized guidance. I work closely with mentees to identify their strengths, areas of growth, and learning preferences. Together, we co-create a roadmap that aligns with their ambitions, ensuring that the guidance provided is relevant and meaningful.
3. Nurturing Confidence: I view my role as a mentor as that of a steadfast cheerleader. I help mentees recognize their potential and encourage them to step out of their comfort zones. Through constructive feedback and affirmations, I aim to instill confidence in their abilities and empower them to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
