Overall Research Project Description The goal of this project is to better understand barriers related to language and communication between Mexican healthcare providers and Indigenous clients in Guadalajara. Specifically, this project focuses on Wixárika (also known as Huichol) patients and providers at a Level 1 (preventative care) clinic. Interview data were collected in the summer of 2023 and are in the process of being analyzed. Key goals/outcomes of the project include scholarly presentations and posters as well as specific recommendations for healthcare providers and tangible materials (for example, a poster with both Spanish and Wixárika terms for anatomical features, symptoms of illness, and so on - with phonetic pronunciation of the Wixárika words to help healthcare providers) that can improve provider/patient relationships and patient health outcomes.

Research Tasks Literature review on topics related to language, communication, and cultural barriers in healthcare settings, primarily in Mexico and with a focus on Indigenous patients; assistance with data analysis; assistance with drafting an academic poster and paper; assistance with creating recommendations and materials for healthcare providers

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Some familiarity with academic literature searches (recommended); some familiarity with Canva and similar design programs (recommended)

Mentoring Philosophy My goal as a mentor is to help mentees achieve their scholarly and life goals by supporting their curiosity, teaching necessary skills to achieve these goals, creating and sustaining an interactive and respectful relationship, and providing space for mentees to take ownership of their work and make mistakes and learn from them. I strive to meet mentees where they are in their academic development and genuinely value all mentees' input and ideas as we work to develop projects together. I strive to match projects with mentees' goals and desired outcomes (a publication, learning specific skills, etc.). I also work to ensure that mentees feel appropriately challenged and not bored with projects. I have successfully mentored roughly 12 undergraduate and graduate students from varying academic and life backgrounds on independent studies, internships, honors theses, and Masters theses.
