Title: Assistant Professor
College: Social Work
Mentoring Philosophy:

My goals as a mentor are to support students in achieving their goals and to feel like whole, healthy humans within the realm of academia. I take both an individualized and team-based approach to mentoring, adapting my mentoring style to the unique needs of each student while building a team of mentees who are able to support and learn from each other. My mentorship style is strongly influenced by my value of the importance of relationships. As part of my mentorship style I value clear communication, flexibility within the working relationship, and regular meetings. As a mentor, I am here to support mentees goals and check-in frequently about whether those goals are being met. This includes their professional goals, areas of strength, areas of growth, and personal well-being. I value curiosity, openness, and humility and want my mentees to feel like partners in our research projects while knowing that I am here to support them and help them learn.
