What is your current research focus? My current research focuses on collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) and how they support college students in recovery from addiction, mostly substance use disorders. Through this work, I help build and refine a descriptive research database by coding and organizing articles in the field, identifying trends in the literature, and helping translate findings into accessible research briefs. My research is especially interested in how CRPs address recovery support, stigma, student experiences, and program development, while also bringing more awareness to the role these programs play in higher education.

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 do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?

Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. I hope to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, learning, and growing through the research process. My priority is to support them in ways that build confidence in their abilities and help them navigate a time that can feel uncertain. I also hope to guide them toward opportunities, help them see the value in their contributions, and encourage them to pursue research areas they are genuinely passionate about. I want students to see that research can take them beyond their field and help them find new interests and passions, as it has for me through my research on collegiate recovery programs.
