What is your current research focus? My research focus is, broadly, the effects of trauma on a person's mental health and cognitive functioning. My individual UROP project explored the comorbidity of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder and how it may be explained by a cognitive theory using Maladaptive Beliefs as a mediating role.
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. UROP has made me feel so connected to FSU and academia in a way that no other activity has. My mentor and lab team, as well as the other UROP friends I made along the way, have taught me how what it means to be a driven, focused, and compassionate researcher and peer. I have learned invaluable career, social, and work ethic skills through this process, and am so grateful that it got me started in research.
Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share
