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. Becoming a UROP leader has enabled me to build long-lasting, invaluable relationships. This opportunity has allowed me to hone professional skills including my communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.
Because I want to enter a competitive field, it is imperative that I learn how to be a great, effective leader. That is, someone who guides and motivates a group of people successfully. Someone who instills values such as integrity, hard work, and professionalism. I believe that I always need to be the best version of myself. Thus, inspiring others to be the best versions of themselves is something I would look forward to every class as a UROP leader.
As a UROP student a years ago, I gained invaluable knowledge from my mentors, who were instrumental in my growth process, helping me realize my full potential and pushing me beyond my comfort zone. As a current UROP Leader I aim to be the kind of leader whom students can confide in and look to for advice.
Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share I'm a pre-med student, with a passion for medicine and sciences. I love giving back to the community, which is why I volunteer at TMH.
I'm part of the FSU Equestrian Club, and I'm on the Dressage Competitive team. I love being around animals (specially horses and dogs)
I' m a member of a social service sorority, Delta Nu Zeta; and I'm also a mentor for FSU freshmen that have earned an AA degree while they were in high school.
