What is your current research focus?:
Through my coursework and extracurricular involvement, I’ve developed a particular interest in the intersection of normative political theory and the concept of free will. As a Global Scholar and Sustainability Fellow currently engaged in related projects, I am actively laying the groundwork for what I hope will become the focus of my Honors in the Major thesis.

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in?:
In the spring of my freshman year, my UROP group was awarded an IDEA Grant to advance our research project under the continued mentorship of Dr. Irene Zanini-Cordi. We've also co-authored a pedagogical article outlining how our approach could be replicated in curriculums covering similar content. The piece is scheduled for publication in a special issue of Eighteenth-Century Studies, one of the leading journals in the field. I am currently a part of the Research Intensive Bachelor's Certificate (RIBC) Program in Political Science.

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 a crucial part of my transition into FSU, both as a student eager to explore the world of undergraduate research and as an individual hoping to feel acclimated to the larger campus community. I credit much of my smooth adjustment to college - and many of the opportunities I’ve since pursued - to my involvement in UROP.
