My current research examines the potential benefits of creatine, a popular athletic supplement, on cardiovascular and metabolic health, specifically in sedentary adults. In our lab, we are fortunate enough to utilize the novel microdialysis testing procedure, something that is rather rare in labs across the country. From our pilot data, we have seen a correlation between creatine supplementation and improved microvascular blood flow, as well as blood sugar stability following a high-sugar meal.

How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?
I hope to guide students through this introduction to their undergraduate research career, as it can be a daunting task where many may be asking themselves, 'where do I start?'. Additionally, I hope to serve as an older, more experienced mentor for my younger students regarding life at FSU in general, whether it pertains to classes, campus recreation, clubs, etc.
In Tallahassee during the school year, I am involved with Greek Life and really enjoy the intramural sports FSU has to offer. When back home in Tampa, I enjoy being outdoors and near the ocean, especially to go fishing.
