Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)
There is a growing body of research showing that exposure to nature or natural environments including forests, streams, and even bird songs, is associated with better mental and physical health. Results like this have informed hospital decor, architectural design, and park design, among others. Using survey and photovoice (photos paired with narrative responses) data collected from FSU students last semester, this project explores exposure to nature, feelings of connectedness to nature, and mental and physical health in college students. One goal of this project is to establish an ongoing Scholarship in Practice research project for Dr. Shattuck's One Health class.
Assisting with analyzing survey data, assisting with analyzing photovoice data, literature review, assisting with preparing academic poster(s) and publication(s) based on the data
Familiarity with Microsoft Office software (Word and Excel) required
I have successfully mentored 6 UROP students since joining FSU in 2023. Most of these students continued working in my lab as volunteers after their UROP term ended. I work with mentees to identify their goals (e.g., learning statistics) early in the process to ensure that the relationship is positive and productive on both sides. I strive to match mentees with projects that closely align with their interests and goals in order to promote a feeling of ownership and deep involvement with the project. I view mentorship as a long-term relationship; it does not end when a mentee graduates or leaves the lab. I am easily accessible to my mentees in person or over email - you will always hear back from me within 24-48 hours. My lab is a safe, respectful environment comprised of students from multiple majors. I encourage discussion and collaboration. The following describes the shared ethos in my lab:
• We are kind to ourselves and our colleagues
• We are a team. We take care of each other and are always willing to assist our colleagues if they need help
• We respect each other and our differences as individuals
