  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    I am a second-year Master's student in the FSU School of Communication Science and Disorders. While pursuing my bachelor's at FSU, I benefitted from working as a research assistant and Honors-in-the-Major student, an experience that allowed me to supervise over ten research assistants, recruit over 170 participants, write a thesis, and help collect data that has been published in top-tier journals. I am continuing to research in multiple areas at the graduate level to prepare for pursuing a PhD, but my primary interest is literacy which led me to work towards a Master's thesis under Dr. Tibi. 
    I strongly believe that the best lessons are learned from opportunities to attempt new tasks coupled with the guidance necessary for success. I am committed to giving my mentees opportunities to learn research skills and identify their research strengths and weaknesses. With these opportunities, I will provide resources and guidance to help my mentees learn from their experiences and become confident researchers. My desire is that my mentees would be able to walk away from their UROP experience able to identify their research interests and confidently pursue opportunities to explore these interests further. I would like to help my mentees gain the experience and skills necessary to succeed in any research environment. As someone who owes my current success to the opportunities and guidance I was given in earlier years, I am very excited for the opportunity to help undergraduate students succeed in their research endeavors.

  overall_research_project_description: |
    This project will investigate factors which may contribute to elementary students' proficiency in academic language, the formal and complex language necessary for academic success. Specifically, this project will analyze teachers' language samples to determine how often word endings (or morphemes) associated with academic language are present in teacher's instruction in different subject areas. As many students in the U.S. are at-risk for failing to master academic language, this project is expected to make important contributions to existing literature. Contributions are expected to include additional description of students' exposure to academic language in the schools and identification of potential opportunities for teaching academic language for betterment of education or intervention practices. 
    At this stage in the research project, language samples have already been collected and transcribed as part of earlier projects. This project will utilize new web-based and code-based analysis tools to identify and record academic morphemes present in transcribed language samples. The code-base analysis tool has been created but is still being perfected for data analysis. Data analyzed in this project will be utilized in the UROP mentor's Master's Thesis and subsequent publication(s).

    Parking is provided free to FSU students at the Warren building.
    This project is expected to have a major impact on teaching academic vocabulary across all subject and especially help students who are from disadvantaged and diverse linguistic backgrounds.
