While my mentorship style will continue to evolve over time, my overall goal is to help train mentees to be independent scientist-practitioners. Since everyone works differently, I aim to be flexible and consider each mentee's unique career goals, values, and skillsets when working together. Overall, my mentorship philosophy is based on a scaffolded and personalized approach. With that in mind, I tend to give lots of feedback (both positive and corrective) on writing-related projects, take time to walk through running statistics with students, etc. - especially early on. Over time, my goal is to remove some of that scaffolding to help foster independence and confidence in writing, statistical skills, and study development.

​

That being said - don't take my word for it! Please feel free to reach out to my current or former mentees below, who have given me permission to be contacted: Marley Billman Miller; Kristin Denmark; Dominic Denning; Eli Gebhardt; Jordan Alvarez
