Mentoring
Above: Students I mentored working together in their office during the summer of 2017.
The role of mentor has been an important part of my identity as a physicist and astronomer ever since I entered the field. Inspiring teachers and caring mentors played a large role on my own path to becoming a scientist. Ultimately, my path has led me to become a mentor for students and I hope to continue on this path to instill passion for and understanding of this fundamental science in students of all abilities and interests through participation in research and physics and astronomy education. During my time as a researcher I have been a research mentor for 4 graduate students, 8+ undergraduate students (including community college students), and 4 high school students.
Right: Two graduate students from Caltech work on the TIME instrument.
