Overall Research Project Description The Center for Population Sciences for Health Equity undertakes a multitude of studies that analyze data, aiming to grasp the challenges and protective elements that contribute to health equity among varied populations dealing with discrepancies in both physical and mental health. The knowledge gleaned from these endeavors is then harnessed to craft interventions designed to elevate the overall state of well-being.

Research Tasks The student has the option to choose from three significant projects. The first involves conducting a comprehensive literature review on how nativity influences the mental health of low-income women. The second project entails conducting a thorough literature review on the population known as Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE). Lastly, there's an opportunity to contribute to data collection, involving both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Competence in utilizing Microsoft Word and Excel for generating literature reports,
Openness to acquiring new knowledge and skills or asking questions,
Effective and punctual communication abilities,
Capability to accomplish tasks within established deadlines.

Mentoring Philosophy My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that it is essential to collaborate with students in the learning process, to help them become independent thinkers by teaching them how to think instead of what to think. I take advantage of teaching opportunities to provide up-to-date knowledge rooted in culturally sensitive learning styles, evidence-based practice, and real-life clinical experiences to deliver the best inclusive environment conducive to developing critical thinking skills. My teaching style is interactive, including technology, dialogue, faculty-student collaboration, and peer-to-peer interaction to engage all learners. Students learn concepts from a shared, collaborative point of view. This includes peer-to-peer evaluations and group case-study presentations aimed at shattering silos and fostering inclusion and cohesion.
