Mentoring Philosophy

My philosophy in directing and advising undergraduate research and creative activity is focused on the belief that fostering intellectual curiosity, critical thinking skills, passion for exploration, networking across the continuum, and engaging with empathy are essential for growth and elevating students to their fullest potential. My objectives are centered around providing a supportive environment that encourages independent thought, creativity, and the acquisition of valuable skills. Critical to this environment is co-creating a psychologically safe space where failure is not feared, questions are encouraged, and fun is intertwined with learning. I aim to provide students with a holistic and inspiring experience that includes a multifaceted approach that not only enriches their academic journey but also equips them with the tools and motivation needed to navigate the complexities of professional life with confidence and enthusiasm. Through a combination of mentoring strategies, I aim to empower students to become lifelong learners, robust collaborators, and fearless innovators both in their fields and cross-cutting for interdisciplinary opportunities.
