As a graduate student at UIC, I have received extensive training in how to conduct research.  Yet, I also have been trained in how to be a mentor and teacher to other students.  For example, in Professor Bette Bottoms’ lab, I have served as a research mentor for many undergraduates who wanted to learn about research and prepare for graduate school.  I sincerely enjoy facilitating undergraduates’ understanding and appreciation of theoretically driven and methodologically sound research.  I have also enjoyed fueling students’ interest in the social sciences in my role as a teaching assistant for courses in Introduction to Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Psychology and Law.
