  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    My mentorship philosophy for working with undergraduate students is:

    1) Collaboratively create an understanding of how we envision teamwork. I always start by discussing what works well for all parties to develop a compact. This is a roadmap of what kind of communication works well, what kinds of rules we want to set for ourselves, and how we will operate as a team. We will revisit the compact regularly through the course of the project.

    2) Identify common interests and long-term goals. I always want to know a students’ interests and long-term goals so that a learning experience can be tailored to best fit these interests and goals.

    3) Develop foundational understanding and skills in scientific research. My goal is to help UROP students develop an understanding of behavioral health research through an applied project. This will serve as a foundation for future endeavors.

    4) Encourage independent-learning and intellectual curiosity. While I provide educational resources to my students, I also encourage students to learn independently, seek resources, and develop an intellectual curiosity that will serve them if they pursue graduate coursework.

    5) Meet a student where they are at. I am a queer, first-generation college graduate and I understand how those identities and experiences impacted me as an undergraduate student. I strive to meet my students where they are at in regard to identity or experience with the understanding that we all come from different backgrounds which may impact the ways we experience academic endeavors including power structures within academia.

  overall_research_project_description: |
    In past partnerships with the Food & Drug Administration we’ve conducted projects that will have the potential to change policies and practices to increase representation of LGBTQ+ and people living with HIV in clinical trials. These have included a funded project focused on Latinx LGBTQ+ participants in clinical trials as well as a Pride Month event with the Commissioner of the FDA to discuss clinical trial participation among LGBTQ+ and people living with HIV. This project is inspired by this work.

    Currently, most clinical trials do not take consideration the best ways to recruit and retain LGBTQ+ people and most clinical trials excluded people living with HIV even if HIV-status isn’t clinical important relative to the trial outcomes. Without data on these populations it’s not possible to know if treatments and interventions that are assessed in clinical trials not have good fit with LGBTQ+ communities or people living with HIV. The current project will conduct a scoping review of existing literature on these topics. Through this project students will learn about how to conduct a scoping review, about the Food & Drug Administration, and about clinical trial diversity. This project will end with a published document summarizing existing strategies and next steps for improving representation of LGBTQ+ and people living with HIV in clinical trials.
