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 go on walks, shopping, and the beach is my favorite place to go!
