What is your current research focus? My research is currently in public health as I examine the connection between the events and messaging of the United States as the media continue to spread information during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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. As a first generation college student on the pre-med track, I knew that research was a great way to make an impact in the scientific community; however, I didn’t know where to start. As I began UROP that feeling of being lost, confused, and like I don’t belong subsided. UROP has given me the opportunity to enthusiastically explore my interests in a way that feels meaningful. I hope to provide the same for my students. I want to create a space for them to grow and foster their passions through research with guidance from myself and the CRE staff.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share {Empty}
