What is your current research focus? My current research focuses on how Covid 19 impacted the farming community and what can be done to make sure they are protected in the future. Farmworkers were not given the proper resources (masks, Covid tests) during the pandemic which put them at substantial risk of catching the virus. I have conducted literature reviews, interviews, and have come up with a list of ways that this kind of negative treatment could be avoided in the future.
Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? I have not participated in other research-related activities, but I hope to pursue an Honors in the Major project in Fall 2023!
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 impacted my time at FSU by giving me a boost into my first research project, which I do not think I could have gotten on my own. My UROP leaders supported me as I struggled to find research initially, and the colloquium taught me a lot about research that I did not know before. I am very thankful for the UROP program as it helped me find my passion in research and continue to do that after completing it.
Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share Some hobbies are reading, writing, volunteering around Tallahassee, and having fun with my friends!
