200 Mon, 04/22/2024 - 09:02 AM Anonymous 146.113.150.238 Anne English Annie English St. Augustine, Florida ae22l@fsu.edu Yes Criminology and Psychology May, 2026 I plan on pursuing a career in research focused on crime analysis, mapping, and profiling. Currently, I am focused on expanding my experiences in research in whatever way I can by participating in lab research with professors here at Florida State. I am also interested in neuropsychology as it relates to deviance and criminal behavior. How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? Participating in UROP was one of the best decisions I could've made in my early college years. Not only did it provide me with an incredible and one of a kind experience, it inspired me to continue to pursue my research interests. Being able to see the behind the scenes of research at a top-ranked University has been a privilege. Being a student in UROP allowed me to find confidence in myself, discover more about my own interests, and has opened the door to so many other opportunities. When I'm not in school at FSU, I am at home in St. Augustine laying on the beach or playing with the animals on my farms. I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my friends. If I wasn't pursuing a career in research, I would definitely work with children either by teaching or working at a daycare.

As a member of the Laboratory for Emotions, Groups, and Organizations (LEGO Lab), a research group in FSU's sport psychology department, I have worked on projects examining emotional facets of group sports. These projects looked at topics such as how the presence of pride and envy impact team performance, what emotions are experienced in response to teammate injury, and psychological-state focus in baseball, just to name a few. Sport psychology is a new and growing field, and I am lucky to be at a university with such a renowned program for it. If sport psychology is something you have an interest in, feel free to reach out! How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? UROP has impacted my time at FSU by providing me the resources to find and get involved with research in my relatively smaller field. Coming to FSU as an incoming freshman, I knew that undergrad research was something I was interested in doing, but I wasn't sure how. After getting into UROP, this program streamlined the whole process, greatly aiding my involvement in undergrad research. As a result, I have had the opportunity to continue working with the research lab UROP helped me apply to and grow my network significantly. Outside of research and academics, I am involved at FSU's Askew Student Life Center (ASLC). As the Co-Sponsorship Senior Programmer, I will be playing movies for students every week! I encourage everyone to check out a film at the ASLC sometime. I am also a big proponent of the local Tallahassee music scene. There are so many bands made up of fellow students that perform all the time, so check them out!

We also produce lentivirus to introduce their gene of interest to a specific cell line. During UROP, I worked with the Global Health Collaboration Project. I focused on women's health regarding Intimate Partner Violence in Honduras. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? I hope students can get the enriching experience I got from UROP! I developed professional, communication, listening, leadership, and time management skills!

Our research focuses on metal flux synthesis of inorganic materials for their magnetic and electric properties. As part of my UROP experience, I conducted research in the FAMU/FSU Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Responser (RIDER) Center. I focused on developing ways for the RIDER center to engage in more environmentally friendly practices. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? I would love the opportunity to impart the wisdom I received during my time in UROP from my UROP mentors. Being a mentor allows me the chance to impact all of my students in positive ways by helping guide them through the often confusing undergraduate experience. I can teach them all of the things I wish I knew when I was in their shoes and prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead in their paths to achieve their goals.

Additionally, I am conducting an honors thesis investigating psycholinguistic factors in letter-naming speed as it relates to reading ability. My research experience began in UROP with a clinical research study, and I am co-authored on the manuscript that is now in the publication process in an interpersonal violence journal. How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? Prior to research engagement, I was unaware of how to contribute to my field as an undergraduate. However, finding specific interests in my majors positioned me to not only work alongside other intellectuals but also serve in helping other undergraduates acknowledge their potential, as well as pursue academic engagement opportunities outside the classroom. A non-research related organization I'm involved in on campus is Lady Spirit Hunters. We are most known for providing face-paintings at FSU athletic events (football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, etc). If you spot me at a FSU sporting event feel free to ask for a face painting! We also engage in philanthropy events such as Dance Marathon, Relay for Life, and Camp Kesem fundraisers in addition to our member engagement activities.

Some personal hobbies or interests I have include playing racquetball, drawing, tumbling, and watching comedies, reality-TV, or dramas.

I have utilized some of this information whilst working on the "Dante Today" project, as I was in charge of writing and publishing posts regarding contemporary works of art that had little or no information on their background. Currently, I am also dedicating my attention to the exploration of Artemisia Gentileschi's art practice, specifically concerning how her trial affected some of her pieces — which often displayed violently graphic themes. I also partake in independent research activities that help further my creative practice, as most of my written and painted pieces are created in response to historical events. How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? UROP has strongly impacted my time at FSU because it granted me the opportunity to independently explore certain academic subjects of interest that, within a classroom context, can often become suppressed or molded. This program has helped me set goals that furthered my personal cultural enrichment as well as my professional skills. In my spare time, I like to read, write, and paint. I also enjoy going on hikes and immersing myself in nature.

I'm working on a project called LabGenie, where we're training AI models to answer questions about lab results accurately. But sometimes, patients don't know what questions to ask or may get the wrong information. So, the goal is to figure out how to make the AI smarter by finding trustworthy health sources and organizing them into a format that the AI can understand. This way, patients can ask simple questions and get reliable answers. We're also making it easy for patients to use this system, even if they're unfamiliar with health terms. Ultimately, I hope this research helps patients feel more confident about their health decisions. How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? UROP has impacted my time at FSU by allowing me to get a deeper understanding of my field of study and interests by having hands-on experience working on projects. I am able to approach every problem with good critical thinking and proactivity. Due to the UROP program, I am now more certain of my intentions for going to graduate school.
