| What is your current research focus? | Last summer, I spent ten weeks at the University of Nebraska investigating microplastics in food packaging. This fall, I plan to build on that experience by joining a research lab in the Department of Chemistry. I’m passionate about exploring how chemistry can positively impact our community. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | As Vice President of the FSU American Chemical Society chapter, I help organize faculty presentations to help students discover and pursue research opportunities in chemistry. |

| Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. | As a UROP Leader, my goal is to serve as a resource for my students. Many participants are first‑year students new to the college experience. I aim to provide the connections and insights they need to thrive in both research and their time at FSU. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | As Vice Chair of the Campus Recreation Board, I stay busy advocating for our facilities and programs. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as running, biking, hiking, and scenic drives. I have played tennis since I was five and still pick up a racket regularly. I also enjoy listening to all types of music, watching classic films, and spending quality time with friends and family. |
