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 has been a defining part of my experience at Florida State University by giving me early and sustained exposure to research. It enabled me to develop the skills and confidence necessary to conduct independent scientific work and contribute to ongoing projects. This foundation has directly supported my growth as a researcher and student.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share In my free time, I enjoy sewing and altering clothes. I have also been working on making a carpet for the last five years, which has been a rewarding way to develop patience and attention to detail.
