What is your current research focus? I currently work in Dr. Jacob Brown's lab, looking into different factors, such as tumors or best-rest, and their impacts on muscle loss. We focus on the neuromuscular junctions and the allignment of the receptors with their motor nuerons through immunofluorescence staining.

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. Coming into FSU, I knew that my goal was to go into the medical field, where I would like to conduct drug trials. In order to gain that experience before going to medical school, I needed to participate in undergraduate research. My freshman year, I had a hard time getting in touch with professors, but UROP provided me with that opportunity my sophomore year. Now, I get to work on research that is personal to me, and continue in my lab that I started with in UROP.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, cooking, baking, playing games with my friends, and sports.
