| What is your current research focus? | My research focuses on environmental factors influencing reproductive differences between Crassostrea virginica (Eastern oysters) in the Western and Eastern sides of Apalachicola Bay. I used ImageJ software to measure oocyte (female egg) sizes, Microsoft Excel to store oocyte sizes and environmental data, and RStudio to run statistical analyses and create graphs. |
| 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. | The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) has connected me with amazing postdoctoral and undergraduate researchers. These invaluable relationships are something I will treasure even beyond the program. Additionally, UROP has provided me with many opportunities to improve my public speaking skills and grow as a person. For example, the CRE fully funded my attendance at the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference at the University of North Florida, where I was able to present my research. Despite being terrified of public speaking, I believe UROP has helped me grow more confident as a person and ultimately supported my step towards a successful and fun time at FSU. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I love playing competitive games such as UNO, Wheel of Fortune, and Word Hunt with my friends. I also enjoy having study nights with them (although they usually end up being hours-long talking sessions). I think it's also important to mention that I love anything sweet and baking desserts only if they are impossible to mess up :) |
