While I was always interested in getting involved in research in college, I was struggling to get started alone. This program allowed me the opportunity to immerse myself in research with an entire classroom of students and faculty behind me for support. The program enhanced not only my research skills, but also my communication, critical thinking, and public speaking skills. I am now a UROP mentor to give students the same imaging experience that I had. | My hobbies/interests include: -The FSU club cheerleading team, Garnet Girls. -Exploring new coffee shops. - Road trips. |

My UROP leaders supported me as I struggled to find research initially, and the colloquium taught me a lot about research that I did not know before. I am very thankful for the UROP program as it helped me find my passion in research and continue to do that after completing it. | Some hobbies are reading, writing, volunteering around Tallahassee, and having fun with my friends! |

This section has a special place in my heart because choosing to change schools is very brave and the transition can be difficult initially. I hope to be able to facilitate a relationship with my students that communicates support, while helping bridge the gap between research and fun for them. I aspire to help my students find the aspects of their research that bring them joy and challenge them to become better researchers. In addition to this, I want them to understand how their research impacts the world around them and the importance of their work. Choosing to engage in research at an undergraduate level is an incredible accomplishment and rare opportunity, and I want to celebrate students who choose to do it! | Involvements: EMT, Emergency Room Technician, Research Assistant, Campus Recreation Outdoor Pursuits Trip Leader, Vice President of Inclusion for Pi Beta Phi, English Language Mentor, Rotary International Hobbies: Hiking, Camping, Learning New Languages |

In researching at Mayo Clinic, it was finding alternative detective methods to SARS-CoV-2 to diminish the deaths among minority and disenfranchised communities. In UROP, it was advocating for an electronic health record in developing countries as a member of the Global Health Collaborative Project. In my own research, I study fast detective methods for sexually transmitted diseases to better sexual health for college students, disenfranchised communities, and the LGBTQ+ community. | In 2022, I was awarded the IDEA Grant to begin my own venture in creating a rapid STD test for chlamydia and gonorrhea. In juggling classes, I still partake in this independent venture research project. As mentioned above, I served as the lead research assistant at Mayo Clinic in the peak of the pandemic. Researching, analyzing data, and synthesizing solutions allowed for my first publication and has since fueled my love for research. | How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? | As a UROP leader, I want my students to see the beauty and multiplicity of research. One does not have to be in the lab all day, if they do not long to be in the lab. There are so many different avenues and facets of research that one can partake in. My love for advocacy and innovation led me to begin my own venture. It was not my love for photosynthesis rather it was my zeal to help people and create a lasting impact. In serving students, I try to debunk these misconceptions and allow them to find the research that captivates and inspires them. Allow your passions and interests to drive you to your destined research project. In a sense, it is like picking a show to binge for the next year. You won't binge a show that you are not interested in just like you shouldn't choose a project that you don't want to partake in. Like many things in life, research is personalized to each and every individual. | Working Out, Advocacy and Awareness, Lover of Music and Dance, and the African Student Association President |

The title of my capstone project is: A Qualitative Study Exploring the Influence of Burnout and Workload on ICU Registered Nurses During Covid-19. Having worked in the ICU during the Covid-19 pandemic, I am very passionate about my area of research. | During my UROP experience, I worked in a biomedical research lab in the FSU College of Medicine. My project focused on chromosome mis-segregation as it pertained to cancer genetics. I also helped one of my professors in completing her dissertation for her Marriage and Family Therapy doctorate. Working with her, we examined the effects of phone snubbing within relationships. | How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? | Given UROP was my first exposure to biomedical research, it served as a foundational experience to my current knowledge of genetics, cell biology, and lab technique. My research project focused on advanced biology and genetics, so I began by learning the fundamentals necessary to understand the basic concepts presented in the lab prior to taking biology courses. I am grateful for my UROP experience, as I was able further my critical thinking skills needed for my coursework and current research experience. | My primary interests are traveling, hiking, and photography. I am trying to visit all of the US National Parks before I am 30 and so far I am at 13. I am preparing to return to India to teach English and in my gap year I will be working at an orphanage in Kenya and summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro after! |

This software can be downloaded online by anyone and used as tool to aid researchers studying the zebra finch. After UROP I joined a research lab under FSU's College of Health and Human Sciences that conducts biomedical research for NASA, studying the long term effects of simulated and true spaceflight conditions, such as microgravity and deep space radiation, on the cardiovascular system. The findings of this project will hopefully help NASA and other space agencies learn more about how humans adapt to spaceflight and how to keep people safe as more people begin traveling to space. | I presented at FSU's Undergraduate Research Symposium in 2021 and 2022. I also presented at the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference in 2022. | How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? | During my college decision process it was really important to me that I picked a school that allowed me to excel not only in my academics, but also explore my passions through enriching extracurricular opportunities. UROP was one of the most intriguing programs offered by any of the major universities that I was interested in, and the prospect of being able to immediately start participating in undergraduate research as early as my freshman year was ultimately one of the main reasons I chose to attend FSU. My participation in the program exceeded all expectations I had. During UROP, I was able to gain experience working on a project that combined both computer science and medical science, exposing me to interests I did not even know that I had. I was able to explore my interests outside of a normal classroom setting and ultimately ended up switching my major to Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences with a focus in Health Information Technology, the perfect intersection of technology and medical sciences. Within my first year of college, I became more confident in my ability to communicate professionally and made strong connections with other like-minded individuals and accomplished research faculty who supported me every step of the way. I have found my passion for research and interdisciplinary approaches to medical topics through my original start in UROP, and I am so grateful for all of the amazing opportunities I have been able to participate in with the knowledge and confidence that I gained from this program. As a UROP Leader, I now get to help other students explore their passions through participating in research and I strongly encourage anyone who in interested in research to apply. | Traveling, tennis |

How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? | UROP has been extremely helpful in shaping my time at FSU. As a freshman I participated in UROP and did research through the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience. In my time at the Institute, I archived multiple primary sources from World War II, including letters, photographs, and film. This experience gave me the opportunity to explore my interests in history, and inspired me to switch majors. My UROP mentor was extremely helpful in this process and told me I should look into an Honors in the Major Thesis. With his mentorship and my other history courses at FSU, I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a historian and am now working on an Honors in the Major Thesis under his direction. UROP introduced me to great connections and new career pathways. I am grateful for my experience in the program, and hope my students have a similarly wonderful experience. | Reading, Writing, Film |
