Abstract
I have the rare experience of being on both sides of the mentor--undergraduate student relationship in the same program (Caltech's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, or SURF, program). In this essay, I will discuss how this background, coupled with my interdisciplinary education, has fundamentally shaped my mentoring style.
