Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided.:
I was a UROP student during my freshman year, and I learned so much about how to be an effective researcher. I enjoyed working with my mentor and developing skills in finding and using sources efficiently. My time in UROP solidified for me that I want to continue researching long-term. UROP also exposed me to other opportunities related to research including FURC, which I presented at in Spring 2024. My time in UROP definitely shaped the other experiences I took part in on campus and helped me to realize how much I love research.

I love reading (especially classics), drawing, and watching movies.
