I enjoy research because.... "I can further apply concepts learned in class to broader theories and the situations I see in my research."

How did you first get interested in undergraduate research at UK?

"I actually decided to go to UK because of how easy it is to get involved with research! I knew that I would be able to get involved as early as my freshman year, and that was just mind-blowing to me."

How long have you been engaged in undergraduate research?

"3 years"

What has been the most exciting aspect of your research so far?

"It's been extremely interesting to see how theories in sociology and psychology are demonstrated through the research I've gathered."

What advice would you give to other UK students thinking about doing research?

"You won't regret it! Every research project I have been a part of has helped me better understand myself and the world around me."
