Education:

Professional experience:

  • CLIMB Instructor and Coordinator, Graduate Education/Professional Development, University at Buffalo

What mentoring means to me:

I'm here because I want our current students to have access to a more understanding and supportive environment than I had as a student. It can be extra hard to find people to talk to about gender identity, especially in STEM/biomedical fields.

I don't have it all figured out, but I am a supportive listener, and I have been told I offer good advice on occasion.

Topics I am willing to discuss with students:

Academic Culture

  • Decoding and demystifying academic culture and norms.
  • Uncertainty about staying in grad school.

Personal Experiences

  • Experiences related to mental health and/or abilities.
  • Experiences related to sexual and/or gender minority status.
