  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    Our goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where research assistants feel valued, encouraged, and excited to learn. We believe mentorship is a team effort, while we guide students through research skills and big-picture thinking, we also learn from their insights and energy.
    We meet students where they are and build from there, offering hands-on training, clear expectations, and plenty of encouragement along the way. We care deeply about ethical, inclusive research and want students to feel proud of the work they do and the voices they help amplify.
    Above all, we hope this experience helps students grow into confident, compassionate professionals who feel ready to make a difference, in research, in schools, and beyond!

  overall_research_project_description: 'This qualitative research project explores the barriers to effective literacy instruction as perceived by speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Through a structured survey study, we aim to capture the real-world challenges these professionals face when supporting students’ reading and language development. Particular attention will be paid to systemic obstacles, resource limitations, communication gaps between disciplines, and the needs of diverse learners. By centering the voices of those directly involved in literacy support, this study seeks to identify actionable insights that can inform more collaborative, equitable, and effective literacy practices in school settings.'
