Mentoring Philosophy:
Any aspect of a solid base between people, whether it be at a personal level or professional aspect, is generated by effective communication. Building a mentoring relationship begin with just that, an effective communication toward the goals. I will aim to further solidify this scientific project via a clear understanding of each other’s objectives.

Scientifically, I will strive to help you craft your own path and work with a clear mindset toward your own expectations. I desire to provide the necessary tools that will aid you in your own professional journey. My willingness to understand you implies to use our time wisely, which in return demonstrates my respect to you as well. Your ideas will be heard as they represent your critical thinking and voice and will establish a mutual understanding of the intended goals for this present study. Discussing ideas towards any issues to find solutions is highly important. 

Experience shapes our outlook. I will share my knowledge with you to catapult you a step farther into your own crafting. All progress is gradual. Research is not foreign to the everyday process requiring patience and dedication. Effective use of time fuels progress while patience creates effective progress. Pursing your own professional path will require skills and virtue which craft integrity and responsibility. 

In our lives, keeping a good work-life balance is fundamental. I hope this is another quality present during our mentorship. Keeping a healthy mind is as important as anything else such as physical and emotional states.
