2023

Throughout my sophomore year, I was fortunate enough to engage in diverse enriching experiences that have contributed significantly to my academic growth. One such experience was my internship at The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center. Additionally, I had the privilege of presenting my work at both SIU Systems Day and the Undergraduate Showcase, which allowed me to showcase my findings and receive valuable professional feedback. These experiences have given me a unique and multifaceted perspective on academia, deepening my appreciation for the complexities of the field and motivating me to pursue further research opportunities in the future.

Building my own website has significantly enhanced my professional branding and provided a dynamic space for showcasing my academic pursuits. On my site, I feature a “My Journey” page where I share personal stories, experiences, and milestones that have shaped my academic and career paths. This personal touch adds depth to my professional image and connects with visitors on a more personal level. Additionally, there is a dedicated “Projects” page where I display detailed descriptions and outcomes of my academic projects and research. This section not only highlights my skills and knowledge but also demonstrates my ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-world problems, enhancing my appeal to both potential employers and academic institutions
