  mentoring_philosophy: 'I believe in starting from the basics with every student and always encourage asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. I am very flexible with meeting times and will do my best to work with each student’s schedule. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and want to make sure, students feel comfortable, supported, and confident as they learn. My goal is to create a friendly, open environment where everyone can grow and develop their research skills.'

  overall_research_project_description: |
    This project investigates recent patterns in fertility across US states, focusing on demographic and socioeconomic predictors. The project will utilize American Community Survey (ACS) microdata (various surveys) to examine differences in fertility rates and their association with variables such as education, income, marital status, age, and broader state-level economic factors. The research uses descriptive statistics and logistic regression models to explore the impact of individual and structural factors on fertility. Ultimately, this comparative state-level analysis aims to shed new light on subnational fertility variation, an area increasingly important in US demography.
