What is your current research focus?:
My research focus involves sport and performance psychology with a smaller focus in counseling. As a member of the Laboratory for Emotions, Groups, and Organizations (LEGO Lab), a research group in FSU's sport psychology department, I have worked on projects examining emotional facets of group sports. These projects looked at topics such as how the presence of pride and envy impact team performance, what emotions are experienced in response to teammate injury, and psychological-state focus in baseball, just to name a few. Sport psychology is a new and growing field, and I am lucky to be at a university with such a renowned program for it. If sport psychology is something you have an interest in, feel free to reach out!

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 has impacted my time at FSU by providing me the resources to find and get involved with research in my relatively smaller field. Coming to FSU as an incoming freshman, I knew that undergrad research was something I was interested in doing, but I wasn't sure how. After getting into UROP, this program streamlined the whole process, greatly aiding my involvement in undergrad research. As a result, I have had the opportunity to continue working with the research lab UROP helped me apply to and grow my network significantly. 

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share:
Outside of research and academics, I am involved at FSU's Askew Student Life Center (ASLC). As the Co-Sponsorship Senior Programmer, I will be playing movies for students every week! I encourage everyone to check out a film at the ASLC sometime. I am also a big proponent of the local Tallahassee music scene. There are so many bands made up of fellow students that perform all the time, so check them out!
