I do believe in clear communication that flows in both directions. When we share our ideas and experiences it gives both parties the chance to learn and grow. I emphasize active listening, constructive feedback, and personalized guidance. Every mentee brings a different background and set of needs, so I tailor my approach to fit each individual. I create a safe, inclusive environment where questions are welcomed, mistakes are part of learning, and diverse perspectives are celebrated.' mentor_handbook_and_faqs: '1' name_of_other_faculty_collaborator_if_applicable_: '' number_of_assistants_needed_faculty_postdoc_max_6_graduate_stude: '2' other_faculty_collaborator_s_preferred_pronouns: '' overall_research_project_description: | To describe children’s experiences and teacher’s use of construction play in an authentic classroom setting.
