  selected_response: 'As a UROP Leader, I hope to guide students through the research process with honesty, encouragement, and care. Research is not a linear journey. it often involves unexpected challenges, learning curves, and growth. Having navigated these myself through projects focused on health equity, Alzheimer’s caregiver support, and breast cancer prevention in underserved communities, I want my students to know they’re not alone. I aim to create a supportive environment where they feel empowered to ask questions, make mistakes, and stay curious. Ultimately, I hope to help them see research not just as data collection, but as a powerful tool for advocacy, impact, and connection.'

  what_is_your_current_research_focus_: 'My research interests center on addressing health disparities among medically underserved populations through community-engaged, behavioral research. I have experience working on projects that support caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease, as well as church-based breast cancer prevention education tailored for African American women. I am particularly interested in the intersection of psychological well-being, health education, and culturally grounded interventions. My long-term goal is to contribute to research and healthcare initiatives that promote equity and improve health outcomes in marginalized communities.'
