Mentoring Philosophy I enjoy mentoring undergraduate students and connecting them to research and projects that makes their work meaningful and impactful. I believe a mentor is a temporary role that supports a mentee in their growth and development. It is important for mentees to know where they want to go in order to get the best support from a mentor. Most of my time towards building a mentorship relationship occurs within our weekly check-in time. It is important that you can articulate your needs as a mentee within that time and are able to be at those meetings. Moving forward, I advocate for my mentees, send them resources, and am available to meet when needed.
