| Overall Research Project Description | This project aims to investigate HIV/AIDS disparities among Black individuals in the United States, focusing on differences based on nativity (US-born vs. non-US-born). Despite representing a small percentage of the US population, Black individuals experience disproportionately high rates of HIV/AIDS diagnoses. Using data from the All of Us Researcher Workbench (2018-2023), this cross-sectional study will compare HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates between US-born and non-US-born Black adults, analyzing the impact of nativity alongside demographic and socioeconomic factors. The study will employ statistical methods to assess differences in diagnosis rates and identify underlying factors contributing to these disparities. Findings will provide insights into how nativity and other characteristics influence HIV/AIDS outcomes and inform targeted interventions to address these disparities. |

| Mentoring Philosophy | My mentoring philosophy focuses on empowering mentees through tailored, supportive guidance. I prioritize understanding each mentee's personal and professional goals, talents, and motivations, establishing a relationship built on mutual respect. By evaluating their current understanding and fostering a sense of ownership over their work, I aim to promote independence and accountability. Sharing my own experiences provides practical insights and context, enhancing their learning process. I strive to create an interactive learning environment that encourages growth through inquiry and challenges. Recognizing what motivates each mentee allows me to align my support with their interests and needs. Additionally, I ensure that mentees feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helping them develop resilience and achieve their full potential. This approach is designed to facilitate both their immediate success and long-term development. |
