At the DeVoe L. Moore Center in the College of Social Sciences & Public Policy under the supervision of Dr. Crystal Taylor & Dr. Samuel Staley, I research the usage of eminent domain in regards to a public infrastructure project within the City of Tallahassee, Capital Cascades Trail Project. I examine compensation provided to displaced tenants of Boynton-Still, a historically vulnerable Black neighborhood. The dissemination & publication of such research serves to promote civic engagement within local government proceedings, knowledge of federal requirements, & advocacy towards preventing the removal of Black communities. I presented at the Undergraduate Research Symposium, the DeVoe L. Moore Fall & Spring Symposium, & the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference & will be conducting an Honors in the Major Thesis.
With research, I have participated in various legal public service endeavors. In Summer 2023, I served as an Intern Investigator at the Public Defender Services for the District of Columbia providing effective representation to adult & juvenile indigent defendants accused of the most complex & serious crimes. Alongside, I served as a Legal Intern at do Campo & Thornton, P.A. representing victims of international terrorism by achieving compensation through the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act. Additionally, I served as an Investigative Intern at the Leon County Public Defender's Office by conducting in-custody in-takes of indigent defendants accused of misdemeanor offenses. As I plan to become a Public Defender, I hope to continue developing the emotional intelligence, knowledge, & influential experience to pursue effective advocacy efforts in protecting the constitutional rights of indigent defendants facing death sentences.
How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?
I serve to impact students by understanding the importance of research as a platform to promote advocacy about societal issues in fields of social sciences & humanities. I aim to provide mentorship throughout the colloquium to ensure students have the necessary guidance, knowledge, & support to overcome challenges & engage in personal & academic growth. I hope to encourage students to be confident in pursuing interests through conducting research as well as other involvement at Florida State University to develop impactful experiences be applied in future career endeavors.
