  mentoring_philosophy: |+
    My mentoring philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and empowering environment where mentees can thrive and grow. I begin by identifying each mentee’s unique goals and talents, recognizing that a personalized approach is essential for meaningful development. By evaluating their strengths, I aim to build on what they do well while guiding them toward new areas of growth. Mutual respect forms the foundation of our relationship, ensuring that mentees feel valued and heard. I am committed to creating a safe space where they can take risks, make mistakes, and learn without fear of judgment. I encourage growth by challenging mentees to step out of their comfort zones, knowing that true learning often occurs in moments of difficulty. Through inquiry-based learning, I promote curiosity and critical thinking, helping mentees not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills to ask the right questions and seek deeper understanding.

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project is funded by the NSF Accelerating Research Translation award.  We aim to develop, empirically test, and clinically implement AI chatbots to provide cancer education and prevention interventions tailored to underserved populations. At the FSU site, we will work together to develop patient-centered chatbot interventions by identifying psychological and communication mechanisms that can facilitate human-chatbot cancer communication and increase screening adherence. This includes the iterative process of 1) designing and optimizing LLMs with domain-specific data, 2) developing evidence-based cancer prevention interventions, and 3) conducting clinical trials and expert evaluations.'
