  mentoring_philosophy: 'I believe that every person possesses a set of skills and experiences that can make them a valuable collaborator. As a mentor, I strive to meet my mentees where they are, so that we can both benefit from the relationship. I will work with you to identify your strengths and how they can help the project move forward, while also sharing my own experience and knowledge to help you grow your skillset. Every project is first and foremost a learning experience, and as such mistakes are expected and encouraged, as they provide the best opportunities to learn.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'The blind Mexican cavefish has evolved in a cave environment absent of light, and has no visual sensory system. To compensate for this, it has evolved enhanced chemosensation including olfaction and taste. This project takes a comparative approach, studying the molecular and behavioral phenotypes that the cavefish exhibits, and comparing them with their closely related surface relatives. In doing so, we seek to understand how evolution has shaped brain function in these fish.'
