- 鈥淚 owe Francine my complete gratitude for her influence on many of my life changing experiences while at 杏吧原创. Working with Francine has inspired me to explore a career in community-based health research, which I would never have previously considered.鈥�
- 鈥淪he is the most equity-focused professor I have encountered at 杏吧原创, and she is both understanding and respectful of my limitations while encouraging my autonomy to make decisions about what I am and am not able to handle at any given time. This is exceedingly rare.鈥�
- 鈥淒arroch takes a person-centric approach to mentorship, allowing students to carve out projects and engage in opportunities based on their academic, professional, and personal goals.
