mentoring_philosophy: |
At the core of my philosophy is a commitment to creating a learning environment where every student feels seen, heard, and respected. I believe that meaningful education begins with genuine connection. When students feel valued as individuals, they are more engaged, confident, and motivated to learn.
My goal as a mentor is to meet students where they are and support them in developing both competence and curiosity, regardless of the career paths they ultimately pursue. I strive to design learning experiences that foster critical thinking, encourage thoughtful discussion, and highlight the relevance of course material to a variety of professional and personal contexts. Whether a student plans to become a clinician, researcher, coach, or work in an entirely different field, I want them to leave this space with skills and perspectives that will empower them to succeed and to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
I also believe in modeling humility and lifelong learning. By creating a space where questions are welcomed, mistakes are treated as opportunities for growth, and diverse viewpoints are explored with openness, I hope to help students build confidence in their own voices and see learning as a collaborative process. My aim will always be to help students recognize their potential, develop a sense of purpose, and feel inspired to keep learning long after they move on from our lab.
