  mentoring_philosophy: |2-
          The origin for much of my mentorship style today stems from my experience as an undergraduate research assistant at an R1 university in the Midwest, similar to FSU. There, I found that connections with my research mentors provided sense of belonging within an otherwise impersonal, large university setting. When I was able to shift from mentee to mentor during my graduate school training at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro, I was motivated to take my role as a mentor very seriously as I mentored students within a minority-serving, R2 undergraduate research setting. Accordingly, my mentorship style today places tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the forefront of my advocacy and support for students. 
    	I consider my mentorship style to be “hands-on” and enjoy cultivating students’ approaches to life-long learning, ultimately serving their professional goals beyond graduation. In the identification of students’ goals, first I ask mentees to reflect upon their own learning objectives. Then, I develop projects for students based on the scope of their goals. Specifically, I have deliberate approaches to mentoring students who may have a clear career path in mind, but also for those who might not know exactly what they want to do when they leave FSU. Finally, one of my motivations to serve as a UROP mentor exists within my own value system surrounding life-long learning. I am eager to learn from my mentees and I view their skills, perspectives, and expertise as the foundation of developmental and social science research.

  overall_research_project_description: |2
             The current research project focuses on examining linkages between home-level factors (e.g., parents’ homework help, household chaos, family structure), school-level factors (e.g., teacher-parent communication, school racial composition), and children’s mathematics skills during elementary school (K-3). This project includes opportunities for UROP mentees to choose what they are interested in exploring further (within the available dataset) alongside a postdoctoral mentor. 
    	This project originates from a recent longitudinal study in which survey and observational data were collected from parents, teachers, and children in local elementary schools. Although this project exists within the department of psychology, this project can be characterized as interdisciplinary—spanning fields of human development and family studies, developmental psychology, and educational sciences. 
    	Findings from this study – reached by the UROP mentor and mentee – will inform future interventions aimed at assisting parents and teachers that are working to support children’s early mathematics skills. 
  please_add_any_additional_information_here: 'Students from historically underrepresented groups in academia are encouraged to apply (e.g., women, minorities, persons with disabilities, etc.). Individuals with personal lived experiences pertaining to the current research project are also encouraged to apply (e.g., experience as a parent or educator, experience working with or caring for children, experience growing up in a multigenerational home, etc.).
