What is your current research focus? I just finished a Senior Seminar thesis on media representation, folk religion, and violence which focused on Santa Muerte- an often misunderstood Catholic folk saint- in the United States. Folk religion is my current research focus but I also dabble in women's history, history in the Southern United States, and new religious movements.

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? I participated in archival research during my time in UROP and helped an FSU professor collect data for an upcoming book on the grandniece of the last Shogun of Japan! I am also an @fsuhistory social media intern and conduct mini-research projects that I turn into digital content. Right now, I'm working on a series about the history of dolls from around the world, encompassing everything from matryoshkas to Barbies!

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 want to help students develop the skills to become active and independent researchers throughout their time at FSU. By introducing FSU's amazing resources and guiding students to think critically about pursuing research, I hope to guide my students to be self-driven and prepared for their future in any field.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share I am an avid coffee lover and when I'm not at one of FSU's libraries working I'm usually at an amazing Tallahassee cafe! I also love poetry, my cats, and astrology. I'm a novice crochet-er and a retail therapy patient!
