First, I seek to develop a safe, judgement free-environment in which a mentee can confidently and earnestly talk through their research interests and goals. So often students are afraid to ask for help as they feel they do not know enough to even reach out to a fellow student or professor. Such an environment impedes the self-development of the mentee. But, this mentoring relationship is not a one-way street. Second, by sharing my own research interests, projects, and goals with my mentee, I aim to not only to introduce them to new topics that they may find interesting, but to also help them develop their own voice in offering suggestions, feedback, and acting in collaboration. By sharing my research challenges with my mentee I hope to imbue within them confidence and a mode of respectful exchange in an academic setting.
