mentoring

Mentoring is an integral part of academia, and it is one that I find incredibly rewarding. During my time as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, I mentored and advised several undergraduate students in EEB, FWF, and related majors. I was part of the EEB Mentoring Program, a graduate-student organized and led program that connected undergraduates in the life sciences with graduate student mentors. Through that program, I mentored two students, both belonging to underrepresented groups in STEM. I also served as a research mentor to Kane Lawhorn, currently a Ph.D student in the Yanoviak Lab at the University of Louisville. When he was an undergraduate in EEB at UTK, I trained Kane in field work methods, laboratory analyses, statistics, and science writing. I also served as a research and academic mentor for several undergraduate members of the Kwit Lab, and assisted with grant writing, experimental design, academic advising, and statistical analyses.
Through my mentoring, I strive to promote diversity and inclusion in science. I have mentored several women and students belonging to other underrepresented groups. It is my goal not only to serve as an effective teacher to my mentees, but to serve as someone who listens to their concerns and provides a safe space that is conducive both to professional learning and to personal growth.
