| What is your current research focus? | My current research focus is Women's Health with a focus on rural Honduras. I remained involved with the project I did my UROP poster on, which assessed Honduran healthcare practitioners' knowledge, attitude, and preparedness to assist patients experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). We are now exploring alternate studies while we wait for IRB approval on our original project, while retaining that same focus on women's health in rural Honduras. |
| 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 has UROP impacted your time at FSU? |
| Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. | UROP was an incredible experience to start off my freshman year. It gave me the opportunity to slowly dip into the field of research rather than having to dive in head-first. This eliminated a lot of the fear and risk that surrounds the independent search for research projects. Through the UROP program, I not only had support from my UROP Leader, but also from my peers, the program's directors, and eventually my mentor. While working on this project, I've been able to collaborate with people in Honduras as well as some of my peers at FSU, and after the program finished I was able to not only remain part of the Women's Health team but also go on to teach a UROP section of my own. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | One of my main interests is writing, mostly fiction or poetry, and to supplement that I also engage in leisure reading. Apart from that, I enjoy salsa dancing and other forms of Latin dance, which has led me to the salsa classes at FSU given by Corazón Dancers. A general interest of mine is study abroad, and I had the incredible opportunity to meet this lifelong goal in Fall of 2023 when I studied in Valencia, which I'd be more than happy to discuss with anyone who might be interested. |
