Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in?:
Before studying at Florida State, I did several years of research involving polymers and polymer chemistry with the goal of discovering eco-friendly plastic alternatives. As a UROP student, I worked on a project in the Special Education department studying modified schema-based instruction in mathematics for students with extensive support needs.

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.:
As a UROP leader, I hope to expand my students' idea of what research is. Coming into college and UROP myself, I thought I knew what research looked like. I did not understand the extent to which research allows professionals in every field to dive deeper into their subject area, help others, and build the body of knowledge on subjects.
