Carly’s Mentoring Philosophy

Think of me as your science personal trainer. You’re joining the lab with an end goal in mind and my primary objective is to help you reach that goal. I will challenge you, but I will also support you. When you join the lab we’ll develop a mentoring plan that outlines your short, medium and long-term goals, milestones, and plan of action, which we will review together at least twice a year. As you carry out this plan I will advise you and help you to develop your network.
