      Aug 2023 - Apr 2024
      Undergraduate Research Assistant

      I was accepted into the highly competitive Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (‘UROP”). UROP allowed me to contribute to the FSU research community, and to social sciences research. I learned research techniques, applied them, and analyzed and interpreted the results. This sharpened my curiosity, spurred me to think more creatively and innovatively, and improved my critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Partnering with a research mentor also made me a better communicator, collaborator, and project manager. Improving these skills has made me a better undergraduate student, and eventual law student and lawyer. Show less
