Mentoring

Approach to mentoring:

I believe students do their best work when they feel supported and are genuinely curious about a topic. To facilitate this, I offer a range of research opportunities that accommodate different interests, time commitments, and levels of experience. My goal is for students to leave the lab, not only with stronger critical thinking and communication skills, but also with the perseverance and confidence that comes from working through trial and error.
