  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    My mentorship values include trust, openness, and respect for the mentee. I want to find a way to make my mentees feel at ease so that they may ask questions, learn from their errors, and develop both as individuals and as professionals. The first thing I do is help my mentees establish goals and assess how far they have come. Get to know their objectives, strengths, and places for progress. Because I am familiar with them, I am better able to assist them. Teaching encourages collaboration among students. I don't always respond to the people I mentor. I educate students to think critically, to explore things from a variety of perspectives, and to take responsibility for their own development. Responsible people should endeavor to make the world a place where mistakes are okay, and progress is encouraged.     Sharing my actions, lessons, and solutions helps me progress.      My point is that growth takes time, effort, and thought.      I want my mentees to have the confidence and abilities to solve problems on their own.     Finally, I want to generate interest, foster question-based learning, and give my mentees confidence in their skills.      Mentoring is about strengthening skills and confidence to prepare people for the future, not just short-term goals.

    I will incorporate the above values and attributes in mentoring students who would be placed under my mentorship and thereby making sure that they obtain enough skills they need to become great and independent researchers both in individual research and team or collaborative research.

    There has been a rapid increase in the number of International students being admitted annually by different universities including those in the U.S.
    These students contribute to their host country economy and enrich cultural diversity on campuses, which is important for a holistic educational environment. Due to their status, they face unique challenges such as cultural adjustment, language barriers, academic pressures, isolation, discriminations, which may impact their well-being and academic success. It is important to understand better the processes underlying their experiences and the potential avenues to support them . The purpose of the present study is therefore to examine the associations between minority stress, self-compassion, mental well-being, happiness, and academic performance among international graduate students with an emphasis on anxiety and depressive symptoms for the mental well-being
