| What is your current research focus? | My current research is centered around hate crime offenders. We are attempting to build a database to attach typologies to the offenders, as well as to mine as much information about them as possible. The typologies we use are retaliatory, defensive, mission, and thrill-seeking. The database has a set of holistic factors such as offender background, motivation, crime, victim background, location, etc. We use these pieces of information to determine what typology category the offender fits under. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | |
| 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 hope that as a UROP leader, I can impact students in a positive way. I would love to inspire them not only in their field of study, but to push their boundaries so that they explore new academic fields. I want them to feel comfortable with research, mentor relationships, public speaking, and research dissemination. My goal is for everyone to leave my class knowing that they are ready for any and all research opportunities that they may experience through FSU and beyond. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I play the violin. I’m a very sporty person- I’ve played tennis for almost seven years but I enjoy playing all sports. I am really interested in volunteering as well so I am very involved in my commmunity. |
