My spark for research began during my first role as an assistant at the Ryu Group Lab. I presented at a poster conference on the Discoveries in improving learning environments in STEM classrooms for Linguistic and Racial Minority Students. Throughout my qualitative analysis, I identified language to be an overall, contributing component in student's difficulties in schooling.I hoped to learn more about the underlying mechanisms of learning in education. Thus, I joined the Sleep and Developmental Studies Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Amy J Schwichtenberg. Many of the skills that I have today developed significantly through this lab (e.g. R programming, Python, ITK Snap, FreeView).My interests continued to develop later on and I found myself aiding the ESDI Lab under the guidance of Dr. Jessica Bradshaw. Despite the challenges throughout the pandemic (i.e. being overseas, juggling courses as a senior in college, and directing events on the executive board in an organization), I acquired a lot of knowledge through my involvement in the lab. Some of the skills include: SPSS, Data Entry/Analysis/Visualization, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
