Overall Research Project Description For Project TIME, we are recruiting Black college students to conduct research interviews. We are asking participants to give us suggestions on the ways in which to make mindfulness using mobile health tools more attractive to Black college students who drink alcohol. Ultimately, we will use the data from the interviews to culturally tailor a mobile health mindfulness app for Black college students. Mindfulness can help manage stress but historically has not been culturally tailored for Black students.
Research Tasks Data collection, literature review, data analysis
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended: Comfort with assisting with in-person recruitment (required), familiarity with reviewing scientific articles
Mentoring Philosophy My approach to mentoring is developmental and student-centered. In other words, when mentoring students I take in to account their past academic experiences and their career goals. I do not make assumptions about where a student should or should not be, but have conversations with students that enable us to be on the same page about where they are developmentally and where they would like to be. I have open discussions with students about what they desire from mentoring and what I am able to offer as a mentor. I am passionate about mentoring students and enjoy helping students navigate the graduate program experience so they are able to attain their career goals. With that being said, there will be times when I have to give students constructive feedback to facilitate professional and personal growth. The most beneficial growth often occurs when one is challenged and I do my best to make students feel safe so they are to have a positive experience in their growth.
