Faculty Advisor Mentoring Philosophy:

The student is my first priority. I value enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork. I envision collaboration as a partnership, whereby I’ll share guidance and professional development opportunities, but I’ll also listen closely to ideas and, more important, to respect the skills a student may have that I do not. In other words, I welcome the opportunity to learn what a student can teach me. Together, I endeavor to shape an experience that’s meaningful for the student and me. I believe that when students feel supported and respected, they can do their best work. My aim is to create an environment where both the student and I can learn and contribute without feeling overwhelmed, so I am flexible with schedules and expectations.
