| What is your current research focus? | I am currently conducting research at the FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory under Dr. Grubbs and Annais Bonilla. The project looks at maternal investment in rays, specifically the Atlantic stingray, and the energetic costs of reproduction. My work includes the collections of the species, husbandry, bait collections, and experimental trials that quantify the oxygen consumption in the species throughout their gestational period. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | I conducted research about an innovative educational curriculum called the Morphological Awareness Pathway to Reading (MAR-P), which focuses on morphological awareness to improve students’ reading abilities. The MAR-P curriculum is based on a wealth of research that emphasizes the vital role that morphological awareness plays in the development of reading comprehension. Students work on morpheme recognition, analysis, and manipulation through engaging, hands-on exercises. |
| 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 overall has been nothing but an amazing experience for me. I can confidently say that I came into UROP as one student and came out as a new and improved student. It gave me the opportunity to collaborate with research mentors with amazing projects. Participating in research taught me how to think critically, analyze data, and interpret results. Furthermore, it has taught me how to problem solve. After being in UROP, my time management skills have significantly improved. Having to balance research tasks, deadlines, school related homework and exams, clubs, and extracurricular activities enhanced my management abilities. It has also taught me that it is all right to step out of your comfort zone and indulge in research that does not correlate with your current major. |
