What is your current research focus?:
My current research focus is Pre-Service STEM teachers and the educational system. My research looked into the ways that pre-service STEM teachers (PSTs) use talk-moves and vulnerability to connect with other PSTs. This research looks into the community building that takes place with PSTs and how these PSTs can use this community in the real world with students and other teachers. We used video data of interviews and classroom discussions to do Multimodal Discourse Analysis. We believe this research will help future teachers and the educational grow. 

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in?:
I am looking into Cancer Research and Diabetes Research. 

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.:
UROP is really a special program in which it connects students with research happening here at Florida State University. I was looking for research, and I did not know where to start or who to even ask. Having UROP really helped me find so many professors and research projects that I had no clue existed. During my time in UROP, I found so many new friends and peers that are all so passionate about research. UROP taught me how to speak and communicate in a professional sense. The program opened my eyes to new topics and research fields I didn't know I was interested in. The most important thing UROP gave me was my research mentor. My mentor has become a great friend in which I can have support from and guidance. I am so glad that I applied to UROP.
