Overall Research Project Description:
This project is a comprehensive literature review that will review the existing literature amongst discrepancies in eating
disorder symptomatology and treatment that may exist within the demographic population of college-aged LGBTQ+ individuals with eating disorders. Here, this comprehensive literature review will identify gaps in the research by asking
these questions: 1) How do interventions intersect with ED/DEB symptomatology in college-aged LGBTQ individuals? 
 2) What does the current literature say about ED/DEB in other college-aged groups (college-aged athletes, college-aged ethnic/racial minorities).

Research Tasks:
literature review 

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Research assistants are expected to have the ability to read and analyze articles and screen out articles that do not meet inclusion criteria 
Research assistants are expected to have the ability to write a coherent synthesis 
Research assistants are expected to have proficiency in using Word and Excel.

Mentoring Philosophy:
To me, the mentoring relationship starts with good and open communication and mutual respect. By having open and honest communication between all parties allows for work to be done efficiently and also allows the mentee to feel as if their voice is being heard. I also strive to ensure that my mentees can go about their time in UROP and conduct research with clear and obtainable goals in mind-whether that be research or mentee goal specific. Thus, it is important to me to foster a safe and inclusive environment that allows the mentee to build upon their skills and become better versions of themselves as humans and as researchers.
