  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    As a mentor, my primary goal is to provide guidance and support for my mentee in learning basic research practices, exploring their academic interests, and considering future academic or career directions. In the process, I aim to cultivate a welcoming and engaging environment where students feel comfortable learning, asking questions, and enjoying the research journey. 
    In order to most effectively accomplish this goal, I take a student-centered approach. I communicate openly with my mentee about their interests and preferred tasks, make myself available for regular check-ins, create space for them to ask questions and share their insights, and provide timely feedback and guidance on their research tasks. 
    I expect my mentees to take an active role in their own learning by approaching the assistantship with curiosity, professionalism, and a willingness to learn. While I am here to support and guide them, I hope they are more invested in their own growth than I am. This includes being prepared for meetings, following through on planned activities, being productive, and seeking help when needed. 
    Ultimately, I strive for my mentoring relationships to be collaborative, mutually respectful, and enjoyable, where the mentee drives their own development and contributes thoughtfully to the research process.

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project tests the effect of a one-hour serious game intervention designed to help young people make more thoughtful choices about sexual behaviors. Players will learn and practice decision-making skills in a relational context in the game. In the study, participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group and will complete entry, exit, and one-month follow-up surveys to assess changes in their decision-making competency, sexual self-efficacy, and sexual attitudes. The study also examines how peers and parents influence sexual decision-making. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior and delivered through an interactive format, the project aims to explore how decision-making skills, self-efficacy, and subjective norms (e.g., parental autonomy granting, peer norms) are associated with sexual attitudes.'
