A supportive network of mentors is crucial for research training in ecology. Many of these networks are not easily accessible or navigable for students from underrepresented backgrounds. I hope to make a difference in that regard by serving as a mentor who prioritizes growth, community, and flexibility.

growth

 Sometimes the pressures of academia make it feel like there is no room for error. I encourage my mentees to embrace their strengths as assets and their weaknesses as opportunities.

community

As a mentor, I aim to use my privileged position to welcome my mentees into professional spaces and networks which might not otherwise be accessible to them.

flexibility

Mentoring styles that work for one student are not necessarily the best fit for others. And sometimes one student needs a mentor to play a variety of roles throughout their research. It is therefore important to communicate openly and be flexible as things change.

mentoring outreach

I have served as a mentor for underrepresented students in programs such as:
