Example anonymous student feedback

"Professor Monica Ghabrial is truly a role model. Calm, collected, patient, and understanding. She creates a safe space matched with a supportive certainty in her tone. She has not only taught me effectively and efficiently, she has ensured I can learn and understand to my best abilities. She demonstrates patience, unbiased reasoning, clarity and positivity. Definitely encouraged me to learn the content because the delivery was phenomenal."

"The professor of this course was absolutely amazing! She obviously loves what she is talking about and it showed in the way she taught in class."

"I wish I could have Prof. Ghabrial for all my courses in every semester. Her teaching style, clarity, and dedication make learning enjoyable and meaningful. She creates such a positive and motivating environment that I genuinely look forward to her classes."

Mentorship and Research Supervision

I greatly enjoy supervising student research. Recently, students in my lab have investigated:

The effects of an acne-positive intervention on women and non-binary people with acne (Jannat Mundi)
The mental health and academic benefits of an peer support intervention for international students (Jil Patni)
The effect of classical music on test performance (Yash Shah)
The relationship between marginalized social locations and chronic pain (Kimpreet Kaur)
