  are_there_any_other_research_oriented_clubs_you_participate_in_: "I recently completed a summer research internship, in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program through the National Science Foundation (NSF). During my eight weeks this past summer, I conducted semi-structured interviews with local Muslim community leaders in the South regarding their hate crime & victimization experiences. It was an amazing experience, especially because it closely related to the research I do through the Hate Crime Research & Policy Institute.  Besides being a research assistant and teaching assistant, I am also an undergraduate research ambassador, serving on FSU's Student Council for Undergraduate Research & Creativity."

  selected_response: 'UROP has significantly impacted my time at FSU. As a criminology major, I began my studies at FSU with the plan of going to law school or possibly joining the FBI. Since I completed the UROP program, I fell in love with research and decided instead of law school, I was passionate about pursuing my Ph.D. in Criminology & Justice Policy. I had always been interested in activism from a young age, and social science research provided me with the tools to identify and analyze greater issues within our justice system. '

  what_is_your_current_research_focus_: 'My primary research involves utilizing open-source data to create a database of federal hate crime offenders in the United States. The focus of this project is on the offenders themselves, and later, identifying commonalities within them. These include variables such as their educational background, religious background, histories of trauma and/or victimization, as well as the extent to which radicalization/hate group involvement is present, among other factors. This work is done for Dr. Brendan Lantz, the Director of the Hate Crime Research & Policy Institute.'
