I enjoy research because.... "it challenges me and pushes me to branch out of my comfort zone."

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

"I heard about it in a College of Education newsletter during quarantine and I thought it would be fun to try something new."

How long have you been engaged in undergraduate research?

"2020-21 school year"

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

"Getting the results and data back from our study and seeing how our predictions compared to the data. "

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

"Try it. Even if you think its going to be tough, which it can be sometimes, it is very rewarding and its so fun to work with the faculty and staff."
