What is your current research focus? As an undergraduate research assistant at FSU’s Complementary Health Innovation Lab (CHIL), I am interested in patient-centered approaches to managing chronic disease. My current research focuses on the applications of complementary therapies for improving patient comfort, well-being, and satisfaction. I am especially excited by the potentially large-scale, low-cost applications of complementary therapies in clinical practice. A two-time IDEA Grant Awardee and a former UROP mentee at CHIL, I am currently directing two research projects investigating how mindfulness-based interventions could benefit free clinic patients back home in Orlando.

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. As a freshman, I was part of the UROP Program and absolutely loved it. Before participating in UROP, I was unsure if research was something that really interested me. Being part of UROP showed me how diverse the field of research is and helped me find a research project I was super passionate about. I ended up enjoying my time in UROP so much that I decided to get a part-time job working in the same lab I did for my UROP assistantship, and I still work there today. I am really honored to have the opportunity to help mentor students and expand their perspectives on research as a UROP Leader. UROP has opened up so many professional doors for me, from winning an IDEA Grant to presenting at the IM4US Conference, so I am excited to guide students in how to make the most of their UROP experience.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share For the past four years, I have led an online community about American TV shows. I also love learning languages, listening to music, swimming, hiking, and going on nature walks.
