I pursue formal teaching, mentoring, and faculty-development opportunities to strengthen my preparation for an academic career. These experiences have helped me develop a more intentional approach to course design, student-centered instruction, mentoring, and the broader responsibilities of faculty life.
IISE Future Faculty Fellow, 2025–2026
Selected for a competitive, yearlong national program preparing doctoral students for academic careers in industrial and systems engineering. The program includes faculty mentoring, professional-development panels, and workshops focused on the academic job market, research programs, teaching, and faculty responsibilities.
Certified Graduate Mentor, April 2026
Completed formal mentor preparation focused on building supportive, responsible, and productive mentoring relationships. This training complements my experience mentoring undergraduate researchers and informs how I approach student development, research guidance, communication, and professional growth.
Engineering Unleashed Emerging Engineering Educators Workshop, 2026
Selected to participate in a national faculty-development workshop focused on academic career preparation and entrepreneurial-mindset engineering education. The experience strengthened my approach to student-centered teaching through an emphasis on curiosity, connections, creating value, mentoring, professional identity, and purposeful academic career development.
