I'm currently doing Undergraduate Research in the College of Business. My research focuses on the social impacts of insurance on medical decision-making between providers and patients. I have been asked to continue with this research project next year and am excited to learn about the research process of handling quantitative data as a majority of the research I helped with this year was qualitative data such as, thematic coding of medical provider interviews. 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. - Select -How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. As a UROP leader, I hope to create the same welcoming, supportive, and encouraging environment that my own UROP leaders gave me. They played such an important role in making me feel comfortable, heard, and confident as I navigated research for the first time, and that experience shaped how I want to mentor others. I want my students to feel like they can come to me with questions, concerns, or even just to talk through what they’re learning, without any pressure or judgment. For many of them, this will likely be their first time doing research, and I understand how intimidating and overwhelming that can be. I remember feeling unsure of myself at times, but having leaders who were patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in my success made all the difference. I want to be that person for my students and help them through the ups and downs, celebrate the small wins, and remind them that it’s okay not to have all the answers right away. I also did research in a field outside of my intended career path, so I understand what it’s like to step into unfamiliar territory. That experience taught me how to adapt, learn on the go, and appreciate research from different perspectives. It also helps me relate to students who might not feel completely connected to their project at first or who are unsure how it fits into their broader goals. I want to show them that every research experience, even if it seems unrelated at first, has value and can teach them skills that will help them in the long run, both academically and personally. Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share I'm on a pre-veterinary track and have a large interest in animals. I currently volunteer with the Vet Team under the Vet Team Program at Tallahassee Animal Services and with exotic animals under Animal Tales. I maintain a social balance with my academic and extracurricular activities by being an active member of Kappa Alpha Theta. I'm also studying abroad this summer during summer B in Valencia, Spain.
