Overall Research Project Description Many students here in the U.S and also many places around the world, spend time now creating content for Social Media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok and have created YouTube channels for monetary purposes.

Mentoring Philosophy I grew up with the motto, "each one, teach one," ringing in the background, as I would encounter others on my academic journey. I have a pay it forward concept and also an open mind to all those I come in contact with when it's time to learn or share knowledge. With that being said, the type of relationship I look for with a Mentee, is an honest and very understanding relationship, with mutual respect. When we respect other individuals, we see them and their actions through a lens of understanding. My greatest goal is for my Mentee to feel like they can interact comfortably around me and ask as many questions as need be, and also answer as much questions as they can to make sure we are always on the same page. There is a saying, that you won't know until you ask, and I think that is so true in all aspects. We will not always get it right, or know the answer to everything, even after researching, this is something I want my Mentee to remember at all times. Promptness, manners, accountability, and professionalism makes one stand out, and I believe are very good qualities a Mentee can have, as well as a Mentor. A Mentee that is not afraid to share an idea or concept when they feel as though it may work more than what is in place, takes courage and that promotes excellent results. Lastly, laugh as laughter is good for the soul.
