What is your current research focus? When I was a part of the UROP program as a research assistant, I spent my time focusing on a review of the use of force policies throughout Florida. In the past, I have conducted research on women's healthcare and how it can be improved as well. Though quite different, these research experiences have been extremely meaningful and have taught me a range of information that has helped me to discover my interests, as well as serve back to my community in a small way!

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? {Empty}

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 one of the most meaningful programs I have decided to participate in throughout my time here at FSU. I love being part of a community that promotes a shared interest in research, as it has not only motivated me but has also helped me grow my research skills for future involvement. I am looking forward to building a deeper connection within the program and contributing back to a program that has given me and others so many opportunities.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share Outside of academics, my interests include journalism, hiking, reading, music, and hanging out with friends and family. I love all things concert-related and exploring new places with those closest to me. Feel free to reach out and talk to me about all passions, FSU-related or not, as I enjoy learning about different interests and niches!
