| What is your current research focus? | My current research focus has been on exploring the gap in knowledge of resources for First-Time, First-Generation, and Low-Income students transitioning to higher education. We interview students on campus about the support systems they have most used when coming into FSU as well as some of the greatest struggles and challenges they faced. Then we analyzed the data by grouping them into common themes to see the connections between the students' experiences. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | |
| Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. | How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? |
| Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. | As a UROP Leader, I hope to be able to provide the support, answers, and learning opportunities for students to explore the world of research and academics during their time here at FSU. My goal will be to provide the information, answers to questions, and resources that will allow students to succeed in their chosen academic field and subjects of research. I also aim to be supportive and able to individualize the support and connections between all of my students within the classroom. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I actively enjoy volunteering with farms, rescues, and sanctuaries in the Tallahassee area with the Animal Society. I also play tennis with the FSU Club Tennis Team and go on runs around campus often. When I get the chance, I also love being outdoors in any capacity, whether kayaking, hammocking, swimming, hiking, etc. |
