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.

Please add any additional information here (if applicable): Although data are already collected, this project is an excellent opportunity to learn to work with and analyze data and contribute to publications and presentations, potentially with authorship credit.
