​Teaching, Mentoring and Outreach
​
​

      Teaching, mentoring, and outreach are my driving passions and sources of inspiration. Beyond my love for science, I have a deep affection for working with young, bright minds and talents. Collaborating with aspiring students brings me immense fulfillment, and I've been fortunate to directly mentor over 20 individuals throughout my career. I hold a profound respect for the fact that each student is on their own unique journey—a sentiment I share as my own path to academia has been far from linear. I am wholly committed to supporting my mentees in reaching their personal aspirations and discovering their innate strengths. In doing so, I aim to instill in them a genuine passion and enthusiasm for science and foster a mindset of continuous growth.
