Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. : How has UROP impacted your time at FSU?
Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided.:
Before college, I did not know that undergraduate students could be involved with research and assist FSU's faculty. When my roommate told me about UROP freshman year, I applied and was so excited to receive my acceptance. Since then, I have had a fantastic opportunity to work with my mentor, a PhD student, and use his advice in research, academics, and everyday life. The CRE has also taught me about resources FSU offers that I would have not familiarized myself with otherwise. Through this opportunity, I have met the most amazing people and hope to be a part of that support network for future UROP students. 

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share:
I am involved with club tennis and will serve as vice president for the upcoming year on the executive board. I am also a member of the FSU Belly Dancers, and I love staying active both on campus and at the gym. I also love to cook, travel, and watch comedy.
