Mentorship

Krista uses a highly collaborative mentorship style. Some of her mentorship values are are:

a) The lab should a positive, supportive environment

b) Projects and activities should be in alignment with both the trainee's goals and the lab's goals

c) Trainees of all levels are skilled individuals who should have guidance when necessary, but autonomy when possible

d) Work-life balance is important. Every person needs some hours to rest every day, some days to rest every week, and some weeks to rest every year. Don't be afraid to discuss with Krista if you are feeling burned out, or need help to better manage your time

e) Trainees learn a lot from professors, but also a lot from each other. Don't hesitate to reach out to other lab members
