| What is your current research focus? | My research this past year has focused on psychology, specifically in the social aspect. Our project explored how people generate spontaneous inferences about various groups, and I hope to expand on this research over the next couple of years and even apply this knowledge to the brain itself and its cognitive processes in these situations. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | |
| 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 significantly impacted my time at FSU, as it has opened the doors to so many different experiences and opportunities that I would never even have imagined doing before. While working with my mentor, I gained a variety of skills about research that I hope to apply to future projects, and even my career later on. Now, I aim to continue research throughout the rest of my undergraduate career, building on the foundation UROP provided. It helped me gain confidence in how I conduct research, and I'm eager to experience even more ways of conducting research in my career. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I love to go on walks, shopping, and the beach is my favorite place to go! |
