    I am currently on the Pre-Physician Assistant track, with a strong interest in women’s health and working with adolescents who have been impacted by traumatic events in their lives. I am involved with DREAM Inc., previously served as a 2025 Orientation Leader for New Student & Family Programs, and I am currently serving as Miss Mu Epsilon of the Mu Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.. I am also a member of the National Society of Black Women in Medicine and the Pre-Physician Assistant Society.

  selected_response: 'As a UROP Leader, I want my students to feel like they belong in research spaces, even before they feel fully confident in their abilities. I know how it feels to step into something new and question yourself, so I want to be intentional in creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, being honest about what they don’t understand, and growing through that process. I hope to guide my students in developing not only research skills, but also confidence in how they think, communicate, and present themselves. More than anything, I want them to leave knowing that research is something they are capable of, not something reserved for a certain type of student.'

  what_is_your_current_research_focus_: 'My research experience has focused on the project “The AI Diary ABCs: Active Use, Beliefs, and Casual Encounters,” which examined how individuals interacted with artificial intelligence in their everyday lives. This included exploring how people used AI, their beliefs about it, and how it appeared in casual, daily encounters. While I am not currently involved in a research project, I am interested in pursuing an direct individual study under my second major in the College of Social Work in the future, with a focus on topics that align more closely with my interests in working with adolescents and understanding the impact of lived experiences.'
