Mentoring Philosophy:
I am eager to meet undergraduate students and help them get involved in research. Research can sometimes be scary and intimidating, but I believe firmly in making it a human-centered experience. All of our work is related to understanding how humans learn and how we can support young children. As a result, I love thinking about the various ways that i can help support undergraduate students as they acquire new research skills. I am always happy to meet and answer questions.
