  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy is rooted in collaboration, mutual respect, and the belief that the best learning environment is one in which there is curiosity and an open dialogue. I view the mentor-mentee relationship as a partnership, where both parties learn from one another. I strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. I believe that mentorship is most powerful when it fosters both independence and belonging, and I am committed to helping students feel valued and capable throughout our work together.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project investigates the relationship between media ownership and the dissemination of political messaging in the United States. Using a critical political economy framework, we will map media ownership networks and examine how these structures influence propaganda techniques and the framing of political narratives. The project includes case studies of both local and national news outlets. The goal is to contribute to the understanding of how ownership concentration shapes democratic discourse and public opinion.'
