What is your current research focus?:
I am currently not participating in research, but I am interested in being a part of any research within my discipline of criminology. I haven't gotten a chance to be a part of criminology research, so if I were to participate it would be that. 

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in?:
Previously I participated in research that involves digital media art. I mainly collected data for artists' open-call opportunities nationally. 

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.:
I was a freshman when I participated in UROP, and I think I have learned a lot of skills through the program. If it weren't for UROP, I wouldn't have participated in research, mostly because I didn't know how to approach professors or didn't think I was eligible. But being a part of UROP has brought me out of my shell and into the real world. As a freshman, there are so many things that you need to do, meet new friends, and adapt to a new environment, and being a part of this program has taught me academic skills and social skills, which I am grateful for.  Also, the research I was a part of was related to digital media art, which is not in my discipline, and I think it helped me to open my eyes to something that I didn't know before, which was fascinating to learn!

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share:
I am a part of Lambda Alpha Epsilon, a criminology fraternity!
