| What is your current research focus? | I study how strengthening breathing muscles can improve breathing efficiency in adults with obesity. My research looks at whether a simple training method can make breathing require less energy and feel easier. The goal is to better understand ways to reduce breathlessness and improve overall respiratory function. |
| 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 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 impact my UROP students by helping them overcome the intimidation that often comes with starting research. I want to create an environment where they feel capable, supported, and confident in their ability to contribute. Research can seem overwhelming at first, but I aim to show that it’s a skill that can be learned step by step. By encouraging curiosity and growth, I want students to see research as something achievable and leave feeling prepared and confident in their abilities. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I enjoy going to the gym and spending time at the pool, as it helps me stay active while also having fun. I also like playing video games in my free time to unwind and take a break. Overall, I appreciate a balance between physical activity and more relaxed hobbies depending on the day. |
